Nice, indeed. I couldn't see flaws either (even though I'm way off the loop in actual playing, so mine is hardly the voice of experience...), but I've added on a comment a few additions that could be nice as well.

Brisbane is quite pretty
. It's a lot quieter than Sydney or Melbourne; but that is to be expected considering it is less than half the size of Melbourne.

Would that be
Dragonwrath, Tarecgosa's Rest
?
Grats.

Oh, a legendary?
Not impressive unless you were the faction first on your server, IMO. =P
J/k, I'd still love to get my hands on
Val'anyr, Hammer of Ancient Kings

I'll get my best veil and rehearse my cries of dismay.

No
Resurrection
's gonna set it right. :(
We'd need warlocks to summon people back, Mages to teleport the reluctant masses, and a brainwash from our Shadow community to get it up again.

Maybe we can liven this thread up with a few of my photos. ;)

Yeah I love that one too. :) Apparently Pachuca is a photographer too; it'd be cool if he popped in here and shared some of his work...

Brisbane Sunset

Nice as well (and quite a wide image, I'm not used to that... I wonder, whas that cropped or can you set specific sizes on your camera? It doesn't look like any "usual" photo format (and I'm not exactly the voice of experience on those fields...).
I see that's a spot you like, your previous links had a photo of that location as well, though there wasn't a boat departing :)

It's actually the result of 14 photos blended together in a panorama stitching program. It's a 180° view; the ferry was behind me, the bridge was in front of me. The previous photo from the same location was made up of only 2 hence the view isn't nearly as wide.
It can be quite painstaking work, and the more images you are stitching, the more painstaking it becomes, unfortunately. The reason I've uploaded this one in such a low resolution (around 5 megapixels when my working image is close to 500 megapixels) is because there are actually 3 larger-than-minute flaws caused by the ferry oscillating on the water between shots. Still, I thought including the ferry would be a nice touch, and considering that's where the sunset was happening I didn't have much choice anyway. I need to figure out where the sun sets at what time of year, so I can get in the right place to shoot it setting behind the city.
I like that spot because it gets a nice view of the river, with a reasonably unhindered view of the city, and it's walking distance from my place. There are actually 4 or 5 better spots I've discovered but have not yet shot from, as they are further afield.

Ah, so that's it. It was pretty well put together, but I can't imagine how hard it can be to set all variables to make the photos sync perfetly. I'm guessing it's not really the same thing pasting each one of them ordered would do, and there's engineering involved, but even so, I doubt any given two photos taken randomly would match perfectly.
On a completelly different note, in my search for a new laptop, I stumbled upon appaling systems. Really, 1400 euros for a laptop with an
integrated graphics card
just because it's "pretty" and orange? REALLY?
