Have you ever been somewhere that immediately made you think of a place in a Donaldson novel or short story?

A beautiful castle like Orison? A place of glowing beauty like the Land? A sleezy bar like in the opening of The Man Who Killed His Brother? :twisted:

Here is one such place for me:

It is a restaurant in the middle of a state park in Wisconsin. I felt like I was dining in a woodhelvin village, as the restaurant has liviing tree trunks coming up through the floor and heading up through the ceiling and is in a gorgeous natural setting. :D 8)

Has anyone else run into a place that makes them feel like they've wandered into a Donaldson story?

Share your experience, and a link or pictures if you have them. 8)

Well, I was in Edinburgh last summer (been there before as well), and the Castle certainly made me think of Revelstone.

Some parts of the Highlands in Scotland could be Andelain. Beautiful.

(Some part of Glasgow could be the Land under the sunbane though :)
