Just little details added and other deleted in the Robert's pic where now we can see Paul Elliott while is just coming back to his family, after his daily job in one of the many Limes Imperii watch tower...
Paul, sorry for recruiting you in the Limitanei troops, but I had just your photo with the right light...
Hi Daniele,
A great effort, and I'm sure Paul does not object - after all Comitatus are limitanei.
I liked the fire (but no smoke), plus i still see many modern details: fencing, car tracks on the field, young planted trees..
Were towers numbered like that?
My own version, with again two members of Comitatus:

Re: Winter sunset and Solstice - petrinus - 01-06-2008
so who built this tower and where is it, i think that is very inspirational!
Re: Winter sunset and Solstice - jvrjenivs - 01-06-2008
It's near the modern Fort Vechten, between Houten and Bunnik, in the Netherlands.

Builders and owners are the Dutch Forestry Comission (Staatsbosbeheer).

Well, then, tell them thank you for me. I'll never see it, probably, but I like the photos.
