The concept is what most strikes me. I don't think I've seen anything like it! I like the building and scene as a whole, the scenery is also well done. One question: Is the sand blue on the ground rock or water (as in it just rained)?
God Bless,

Very nice. I saw this on Duney's blocklog and thought it was awesome, glad you've joined to show it to us.
I really do like this. The cliff is very well done, and you can almost (almost) not see the BURPs. The tree is quite nice too, as is the landscaping, which looks like there was a huge fire, and that plants only started to grow back recently. The tower is very nice too, it looks like it could've really been used defensively, and I like the sand blue (is it sand blue?).
About your pic, though, it needs to be smaller. Only images 300x400 pixels or smaller are allowed to be put in posts. This is because some people still have dial-up connections and smaller screens, so large images are very inconvenient. If you don't want to resize your image, I suggest using the thumbnail that Brickshelf generates. To do this, when you're in your gallery, control-click (right click on a PC) on the thumbnail, and select 'Copy image address'. Then, in your post, click the 'img' button, paste the address, and click the 'img' button again to close the tag. If you don't want to do that, just post the link, but please, no large images.

Thanks for help. I've changed it.
Could you post link to this Duney's blog?
Oh, and that blue bricks are sand-blue (and they are rocks )

That's a great MOC! The leaning tower is very well done, as is the scenery. The sand blue is a very nice touch - I don't think I've ever seen it used as rocks! I can't wait to see more of your MOCs!

I saw this on brickshelf and couldn't wait to post on it. I really like the leaning tower and the other colors you used. There is a definate attention to detail here and the whole MOC scene is great. A superb job, I can't wait for more.

Wow, that is very well done. Your mottling effect on the tower is excellent and the rest of the landscaping is top notch. The ruined tower is very cool and the leaning effect is quite original. I sure wouldn't ride through there!
