These make me think of the 'Vikings' series on TV. Harsh times, rude and beautiful landscapes that have given birth to a strong people who spread to explore and settle in most of our present world (e.g. long before Colombus in North America). As usual a question rises: why do we focus on the Greeks and the Romans, and never teach about Celtics, Ottomans nor Vikings? They built empires too, of which we are descendants. (exception made for Tweety-D.T. whose ancestry is just a long greasy-orange-poop-tube, of course)
awesome pics of nature. thx.

BatRedneck - The Greeks and Romans are in one part of the world; and the Celtics are in another. Maybe that's why.
