ok... here's my 2 cents... I understood the theme of this month's challenge to be 'The Golden Age of Atlantis'; which, to my mind at least, implies 'Atlantis at the height of its civilization', rather than 'the fall of Atlantis'. Which would, again to my mind, would eliminate some outstanding images this month. Therefore, with that in mind.... 3-rochr(surprise, surprise)... I love the POV looking down the hill and the depth. I agree with what you said in your original post that even in a civilization's "Golden Age" there will still be those neighborhoods which are not quite as "golden" 2-ICMgraphics... perhaps it is early morning and the bustling multitudes aren't all awake yet. 1-nuski... very nice first entry. This month is only my second. If you modelled this completely in Bryce, and I have no reason to doubt it, then I am definitely impressed. Also, many kudos (though no points, sorry) to airflamesred and johnpenn for their 'think-pieces'. Loved them both.
