In this feature, the community could submit for review and possible selection to be included a picture taken by the submitter or at least with the photographer’s permission, that includes a vision they hold most true for meaning of geography, character or philosophy that is Gorean to them. It may also be one that when taken, they felt so overwhelmed that the two planets did become one for them on Earth.

This month The Gorean Voice sneaked back into the photography lab of Old Viking, and while there found these and a note attached:
On a recent vacation trip to Cagnes sur Mer in Provence, France, I was lucky enough to live in a house on the top of the hill of the medivial town, Haut de Cagnes, as next neighbour to the magnificient medivial castle (one of the many Grimaldi castles). From my windows I had a fine view to the square in front of the castle and to the beautiful staircase leading to the entrance. At the base of this staircase two rings were mounted, some 1.20 m (4 feet) above the ground as seen on the "Slave rings.jpg". The Close up.jpg" is a close up of one of them. They both looked as ideal for securing a kneeling girl while you enjoyed the visit to the museums in the castle or to one of the many taverns surrounding the castle.

But of course one has to be realistic. Even when Cagnes was probably founded by the Greeks some centuries B.C. the castle is only maybe 800 years old and the staircase must be much younger, so the rings have probably been used much more often for horses than for girls.
