Galway Castle

A fellow Rubi-Ka'an pointed me to the mini-city in Galway County. It is a mini version of the Galway Castle a brisk walk east of it. In the first picture you see me lying in front of the estate of Galway Castle.


The next picture is of the real -toon-sized- Galway Castle a ways to the east. As you can see im very small comared to the first picture. At first glance the two pictures dont have much in common. However a closer look identifies the three rhino-heads coming out of the ground on each picture. As you can also see the wall walks the same way on both pictures.
What I find it very intruiging is that mini and realsized castle are not an exact copy. Maybe the mini castle was made as a test to see how the buildings would compare to eachother size-wise and the realsized castle was built with the new insights discovered that way. Who knows ...
Thank you Frequent Flyer for the tip!

Out of office

Im sorry I have been caught up in the rolling QL 200 missions flue. I cannot stop rolling them at the moment. All these shiny and beautifull things like
  • Hacked Boosted-Graft: Feet of Stone
  • Hacked Boosted-Graft: Lesser Deflection Shield (Extended)
  • Triplers
  • M150 DeLuxe Booster Edition
  • 64 NCU Memory
  • Flurry of Blows

The fun doesnt stop. I'll get back to making some nice pictures soon.

Bite (for) me!



Today I went exploring the nature reserve in the northwest of Galway County. It is a forested lake with many wooden walkways making it possible to travel in foot across the lake. Being used to the fact that lakes are usually wide, open spaces this is a beautifull and unique reserve.


The walkways are a nice way of enjoying the flora and fauna. After a few hours of hiking I took out my fishing-pole and found a nice calm area. Ahhh the relaxation, being away from the train that always keeps on rushing and rushing, the grind, the -have to's-, it was just what I needed. I even caught a fish, ofcourse I carefully released it from the hook and released it to it's natural habitat.
Yet again a most excelent day in the life of a fixer on Rubi-Ka.

The fixer shop


Today I ran out of special bullets. It was in de middle of a Battle Station round, so right after I went to the Fixershop to get some more. You can see the shop in the bottom right corner, in the background you see some buildings of Borealis.
The fixershop is a short flight from Borealis, it can even be traveled on foot from Borealis. I believe that only fixers and traders have their own dedicated shops.

Hoooooooverboard



Today I treated myself to a new hooverboard. It's a simple model but I liked it. I treated myself to it to celebrate me getting full QL 300 ofab for social wear. It was an ordeal, but i managed it anyways. Having done that, what goal am I to set for myself now?? Have any suggestions? Please leave a comment. If it's something that appeals, I might go for it.

The picture was taken near the Pahsefront Vendor where I bought the board itself.

If you have any special Rubi-Ka scenery that you want to get in the spotlight, leave a message aswell. I'd be very surious what parts of Rubi-Ka I might not have seen.

Hot momma - lava pools of Avalon

Today I made a trip to the lavapools of Avalon. In Avalon there are many lavapools, all equally hot. Due to the heat i decided to stay in my airconditioned vehicle (a Phasefront Wraith X2-45 - White). The view was excelent and the number of other tourists was acceptable, I even managed to take a picture of me alone in a wide lavapool with a lava-fall.
All in all a nice day on Rubi-Ka.

Hope I dont miss the pool ...


Today I took out my bathing suit and towel and found the nearest pool. Me being a fixer, any pool is the nearest pool. I went to the Lush Hills Resort. After lounging a while by the pool the diving tower caught my attention. This diving tower must be the largest in the whole of Rubi-Ka. It is awesome, the view you have of the surroundings when you are at its top is breath-taking. The only part of the view is the way down :). None the less met my fears and jumped down, only once though. That was enough for me.

So whenever you are near Lush Hills Resort, i can recomend the pool and the diving tower.
