Very good pictures also. Did you take the photos @padmakshi?

To think, I could have went my whole life and not known this existed. Makes me wish I grew up a viking. Except for you know, the whole pillaging thing. Except maybe I would have been doing the pillaging... Damn it's good to be a viking

Nice
