The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool.

Legolord’s Dawnshire Keep is a treat for the eye. There’s plenty to see in every photo, with so much action, landscaping, and well-built designs.

And for you fellow Christopher Moore fans–Dawnshire Keep is guarded first and foremost by a fool.

SlyOwl busts out of the starting gate with this entry for the Colossal Castle Contest. Packed with all sort of fun olde time carnival action, the dark of side the fair is revealed in the depths below the midway.

This stunning dragon, by Necromancer7, is incredible. I want one….really bad.

…we can’t fit it all in one picture. If you’re familiar with your castle builders, you’ll instantly recognize this as a creation by Daniel Z. As I was looking closely at the castle, I noticed some interesting patterns on the sculpted rocks. Look closely and you’ll be amazed that not everything is studs-up. If you’re wondering what’s on the other side of the castle, you should check out the entire gallery.

Ocean Outpost

The castle in the ocean by Rod Gillies (2 Much Caffeine) is a nifty scene to stand on its own. What really makes it extraordinary is the technique of using interlaced 2X2 tiles for the castle wall.

I’ve been a busy bee and had no time to do a decent job of blogging. So here are the pictures I have in my bloglist. One is old, two are new.

At the foothills of the mountains

Chris Wunz’s Border Outpost is a marvel in landscaping. I really like the intricately carved paths on the mountains and the integration of the two lakes joined by a cascading ravine. The setup also features a working waterwheel and millstone, a cool addition that tops off this wonderful creation.

Japanese shrine

This shrine, by gtahelper, is top notch. It’s packed with all sorts of incredible details, including the first Shishi odoshi that I’ve seen. Make sure you check out the video too, the fish are very cool.

Thanks to Bruce for pointing this out to me in Classic-Castle’s chat room last night.
