The brief:
It might surprise some that I should go all the way to Norway and come back with a photograph of a manhole cover, but you have to admit it is a very fine manhole cover.
What I want you to do is to lift the lid and show me what lies beneath. It's not quite as easy as it sounds: you'll need some subtle shading to make this one convincing.

The brief:
The idea of creating a floating piece of land was raised by Scott earlier this week, and it's one that intrigued me.
Of course, the idea of castles in the air has been around for centuries, perhaps most notably realised by Rene Magritte in 1959. His version had a stark, weighty quality that made it all the more surreal; what I'm after is something that looks altogether more plausible.
Your castle is here. Can you make it float? Use as much or as little of the hill as you need. Or, if you prefer, choose your own building.
