I am finding the Wallace Monument as small planet very appealing, and very Scottish.

I mean, I know the flag is there which obviously shouts SCOTLAND, but it's the building. I think sometimes the mountains and lochs (and Highland cows) overpower the imagery when someone says Scotland, but this building is perfect in this squat, warped form.

To me anyhow.

A 360 degree photo of the Wallace Monument, a tower on top of Abbey Craig near Stirling. It has been warped into a planet sphere, so the tower, looking more squat than in reality, sits on the top looking more Scottish than a Scottish thing. On the right is a Scottish flag, and to the south you can see the surrounding countryside. The sky is blue, with white fluffy clouds swirling round.

Same view, but no longer quintessentially Scottish. Now it's either that:

1. I've had one too many drinks this evening and need to step away from the computer OR

2. I've discovered an amazing portal to the world of upside down people.

(I was going to make that a poll, but the option doesn't appear to be there when you add an image - boooooo!)

Genuinely had one too many drinks to describe this, but I'm going to give it a go. The 360 photo is warped so that all around the outside is curved stone slabs from the ground. The curved doorway to the monument looms centre stage, and two stone towers stretch up and towards the centre of the image. In the centre is a circle of bright blue sky with white fluffy clouds. Around the top of the sky circle there are people standing upside down on the curve.
