Hmm. I thought it was you who ffffound mine. I've known about the site for the past several years, my pal bobby, (even though no one has to yet to invite me as a member) but only now, in which I've realized that they do allow their relatively-small in filesize images to be 'hotlinked', have I started to use it again (and actually go through the extra effort to tracking down the original artists).

A Three-Part Feature:

the empire strikes bay area
("Star Wars West Coast Defense")



ATAT - Pt. Arena, CA (closest point to Hawaii from continental US)

When I first saw this image yesterday, I had trouble figuring out what it exactly was.
Luckily, I recognized San Francisco and traced it rapidly to artist Mike Horn.




In this image, an Imperial Star Destroyer is seen over the Bay Bridge at dawn.
Apparently, the Star Destroyer is a highly detailed 3D model made by Ansel Hsiao from Fractal Sponge.



Mike Photoshopped them from his own personal photos and Star Wars images that he found on
Wookieepedia. The stormtroopers are real and part of the 501st Legion Golden Gate Garrison troopers.
