roombakitty.livejournal.comHello, Sounis!
I've been a lurker for a while now, even before KoA was published. I've been captivated with the Queen's Thief series since I had to read The Thief for Battle of the Books in middle school. That was 8 years ago, and I'm just as interested as ever in Megan Whalen Turner and posts on Sounis, especially fanfiction. However, I wanted to introduce myself because I have some interesting photos to share (and because checkers encouraged introductions).
Last summer, I traveled extensively in Greece while studying archaeology. I found myself constantly looking at the landscape for Gen's sea of olives. I finally found the perfect example at Delphi, where olive trees are so dense they look like a river. The sanctuary ruins at Delphi also look like what I imagine Eddis to be like in the mountains.
