On Duty For A Millenium


This tunnel is part of the road that goes to the old fortress of Deva, Romania (the fortress itself is over 800 yrs old). The hill where the fortress is located, was always a place to retreat and defend when the city was under attack by the barbarian hordes.

  14. Great picture! One could easily imagine the people in the tunnel and on the other side, lying in wait to ambush the attackers. Either that or it's the gateway to another realm

  41. Great photo.. superb tunnel they made
    must be a quiet road and still they preserved the rock and made this tunnel in it

    or is it just a very thick wall belonging to the castle... ?

    it should be redone in Poser.. I will one day soon try
