If you all haven't seen these pictures on Brick shelf, perhaps you ought to. Christina Hitchcock has really captured (IMHO) the flavor and feel for a fortified city. Castle walls abound and encapsulate many small peasant structures that sceam "Bring (...) (24 years ago, 18-Oct-00, to lugnet.castle) !!

Hi Travis, I did actually download and try out your new version of LDVIEW. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work well with my computer. I have a voodoo 2 3d card and a 450MHZ computer.
