    There are indeed. Bok Tower Gardens (in Lake Wales) is a beautiful place...

    Jayson, that looks gorgeous. I wish there was somewhere like that down my neck of the woods.

    I found this online.

    It is called The Rose Tower, I kid you not.

    It certainly comes close for me.

    They sure are.
    It's not really that magical,though.

    Yeah, I know. Its just Wolfpack school spirit and all, but it does look evil. Maybe I can remember to take an actual picture myself from some different angles before the semester is over.

    Well...are you thinking what I'm thinking?

    Like I said, I know it's just a coincidence.
    But a girl can dream.
    What do you think?
    Coincidence has been cancelled.
    What I started thinking, actually, was about the Tower of Babel... but then, that is something that I sometimes think of when I look at the Dark Tower, too.

    I think this is my first post here, but we have a tower around here that reminds me of The DT.



    A friend of mine did a really cool Photoshop of that same tower, complete with a field of roses.

    Saw this while we were at Luray Caverns over the weekend and thought it looked like the Dark Tower.

    That cemetery looks beautiful. Really. I might be a pervert to say that but I think cemeteries that are cared of can be really nice and peaceful. This one is very good example.
    Thank you for sharing.

    Roland would have understood.

    Bears love cemeteries! This one was great, too, and so was the Tower - wish it was taller, though.

    Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
    When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)

    bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I DO love cemeteries. I would dwell in them, if I could. In fact, I cried like a baby when I visited Tolkien's and C.S. Lewis' graves in Oxford. But that pointing thing just creeped me. Too uncanny to be true

    Sooo...I found this world's version of the Tower. Complete with field of flowers. Not roses, but red nonetheless.


    I had to take a photo with me in it too.

    the closest thing ive ever found to the tower itself was more along the lines of its metaphysical aspects
    When I was 11 years old, a kid in elementary school, I got kicked in the head while playing soccer
    It knocked me out and I was told that I was out for like 30 seconds but I remember seeing just DARKNESS, endless and empty and forever
    years and years later, the reading passage about rolands vision at the end of the gunslinger struck an extra nerve in me because of that
    if the worlds gonna end then let's get it over with, i got shit to do

    I love the angle. It makes the that tower look even higher. And stronger.
