I was amused at the digital artists complaining they don't have a union and
don't get any credit. "Heck, we come after Craft Services in the credits!"
(Craft Services caters food to the actors on scene, for those who might not
be familiar with the term.)

Yes, we're traveling together,
but to different destinations.

I probably did some "fade reduction" to cut down on the fog, yeah.
It's funny because people say "you took that *exact* same picture! How cool
is that?" What one might not realize is the picture is taken from a
five-foot wide balcony sticking out of the side of a cliff face. *Everyone*
without wings takes the same photo.

Trust me. China does not want for dragons, even stone ones.

Aye. Same for this similarly-themed location in the Blue Mountains, NSW
Australia:
http://www.bigfoto.com/pacific/australia/blue-mountains_australia.JPG
....from the viewing platform by the car park. But I went a-walkin along the
clifftop bush trails when I was there, so civilisation was but a memory for most
of my afternoon :) (not my pic, btw)

Animal cruelty! At least the N'avi didn't nail theirs to the walls...

By the way, look at the color of the seawater here:
http://warp.povusers.org/ThailandTrip_Diary/krabi54.jpg
It really was shiny emerald green like that there (if not even shinier
in real life), although only in some places. I have no idea what gives it
that color. Does anyone know?

Most likely, yes. Altho there are two or three replicas of this wall about.
This one was at Bei Hai park. I'm trying to get jalbum to do its thing, but
it's being collic.

White sand (from coral) under the blue water, I think. The same thing is
evident in Palau, which is (a) made entirely out of coral and (b) has
equally awesome landscaping. :-)

Enjoy!
