I know the subject of the posts sounds good ;) but in fact they're just a lot of variations of icons from just 2 images. koalathebear wanted some icons from them and I just wasn't sure which one she liked better or which one I liked better...

She assured me she didn't mind me posting them since they are quite a number of them and she hasn't decided which ones she is going to use... and I see some other people may be interested in them because they're watching or have watched Long Vacation.

Teasers:



( to avoid being too repetitive in an open post, a tiny lj-cut. The other icons under here )

I've been meaning to recommend a couple of pics sites I found (in some LJ community or by my own) which I think it may interest people since have pics of lovely British actors or/and upcoming series.

First of all, photographer Jude Edginton, has in his website a series of portraits of famous people, including some British actors like: Damian Lewis, sir Ian McKellen, James Purefoy (dressed in white!) or Richard Armitage (beautiful pic!) and Bill Nighy, among others.

I prefer to link directly to the site H E R E and not pick the pics and post them here (I know it sounds weird but it's his job and I feel bad if I post them posting the pics).

I know that at least koalathebear likes James D'Arcy, but I'm not sure if somebody else in my flist likes him. I'm not fan of him, but yesterday, surfing ibedesign I found a post with, if I haven't read incorrectly, 115 HQ pics of him. I think you have to join the community to see them but just in case H E R E is the direct link. Some of the pics are with other British actors/actresses, a couple with James Purefoy *g*


Also, koalathebear made a The Last of the Mohicans pic spam that reminded me of a beautiful fanvid I found ages ago. It's a North and South fanvid (North & South, Richard Armitage version!) using the main theme for The Last of the Mohicans and featuring Thornton. The creator of the fanvid, Cleobulle, received an award for the video, so if you haven't watched it before you should: H E R E is the link to her videos. I also recommend another one of hers with the music from LOTR: The Two Towers trailer featuring Margaret and Thornton (you can find it in that same link. It also received an award).

Looking for the videos I found this website: Foolish Passion - A North & South fansite, where you can find a lot of info and stuff about North and South including more fanvids and a pretty complete links section. Check out some of the fanvids there because some of them are quite nice.

I've especially enjoyed one by Remontant, using Music from the Codex Calixtinus here, or another one by Elvira, titled Lonely using a Jerry Goldsmith's piece, here. I don't know why but the montage she's made with just Thornton moments and dialogue plus the music... really got me ;)

I'm very curious about one by Neelma using Deliver Me by Sarah Brightman, but haven't had the chance to download it yet :S
