(...) Hi Felix! I really love your work. Your castles and scenarios are so simplistic yet they really hit the mark. I enjoyed every minute. My favorite was the city hall. Plus, I like how your story tells more than just the story... :-) -Shiri (21 years ago, 18-Sep-03, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

First I must apologize for the dark pictures. It's late at night while I write this, and I don't have a good lighting set up at the moment.
