ronsoftie: ([Merlin] Camelot)
ronsoftie ([personal profile] ronsoftie) wrote2009-06-07 05:31 pm

Pierrefonds XD

Okay then, here are my pictures from Pierrefonds itself :) The other girls are so much better at all the details and stuff like me, so I leave that to them, and give you a pic spam of the castle and boys and girls with only a few short comments. (Oh, and sorry to those who have seen a few of those pictures already in my incoherent squee post yesterday ;))

Spoilers be in here, concerning Uther and one guest star.

Image heavy, obviously ;P



A first view from the streets


When we entered the castle ground and were walking to the entry we passed right through the village of Camelot! Later when we wanted to leave, this part was closed off to the public.






The draw bridge. I think by that time we were all in complete awe. Walking past where Merlin and Arthur met for the first time, and where the fights in "Valiant" and "Excalibur" happened.


My lovely travel companions on the draw bridge!


The courtyard!


To Gaius' chamber


The fountain. And the little wall where Arthur jumps over in episode 11.


Bradley in blue! Looking gorgeous! It really is amazing how much more gorgeous they all look in real! Wow!






The Great Hall!


And Uther's throne.






The set from above this time.


To the dungeons.


Colin and his green plastic bag = new OTP! My personal highlight of the day was seeing Colin a couple of times, he is way too adorable and his smile lights up the whole courtyard :) I wish I could have taken him home with me!




Sadly we could not visit the Slash Dragon.






Bradley on the balcony. Now in chainmail! He was talking to someone on the ground, saying something about Colin being cheeky and if anyone sees him, he should be slapped. Later he also lounged around on the stairs and was striking some very silly poses XD


The girls were both wearing beautiful dresses and looked stunning. Gwen seems to be wearing Morgana's purple dress.




In an alcove at the entrance. The perfect hide away for a stalker ;)


Again, the parking place where the tourney happened in season 1.


Some tired Knights.


ME! ME! ME! (Not me actually :P)


The Pendragon flag waving over the entrance.


ASH XD We were sitting on the grass having a little snack and lounging around when I turn around and there are Anthony Head and Sarah Parish right on the grass with us. We were then asked to move off the grass as they were about to film a scene there. So we moved down to the other side, and sitting down right where Arthur and Merlin met each other for the first time, watching them film. Uther will get some loving XD And his very own long leather coat!















Now that the boys and girls stopped filming inside we finally could wander through the rest of the castle as well.




The way to Lady Helen's chamber.


Some well known places :)




To WalesMorgana's chambers!


They seemed to have forgotten to take this banner off the wall!


We always thought this path way was one storey higher. It always seemed like it in the show but it is on the ground floor actually, and heading to the gift shop. We all watched "The Gates Of Avalon" together in the evening and were making jokes about Uther disappearing into the gift shop to buy some souvenirs any minute now.


The way to and fro Camelot.


And a last look from the parking lot.


Edit: You can find links to the reports of the other girls right here XD

OMG, today is a good day to die - more pics! *flail*

Thank you so much, sweetie, they're all lovely! ❤

And Bradley in this blue jacket is just NGGGGHHHHH

[identity profile] ronsoftie.livejournal.com 2009-06-07 04:05 pm (UTC)(link)
MEEEP! Tell me about it, the pictures you posted where the last straw for me, I am now utterly and completely brain dead! XD But what a good way to go :)

And thank you for practically being with us the whole time :) When the girls were talking to you on the phone, I was the one giggling away in the background the whole time ;) Should tell something about my state of mind during this whole adventure.

GAH!!! Blue looks so amazing on him! Everyone was in blue that day: Colin, Bradley and ASH! It looks good on all of them :) But gosh Bradley in that jacket on the new set pictures is killing me (or would be killing me if I wouldn't be already dead!)

Great, great photos, thank you so much for sharing! Seems you had really nice time. :)

"He was talking to someone on the ground, saying something about Colin being cheeky and if anyone sees him, he should be slapped. Later he also lounged around on the stairs and striked some very silly poses XD"
Oh, BRADLEY. ^_^ &hearts

[identity profile] ronsoftie.livejournal.com 2009-06-07 04:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Aw, I am glad you enjoyed these. And I am very happy to share the excitemend of my friends and myself :)

The other girls actually have pictures of Bradley lounging around on the stairs ♥ My camera failed me at that point, Bradley's beauty probably was too much to take in for it XD

OMGOMG STILL GOING THROUGH MY PICS, i fell asleep earlier because i was so tired XD. We nearly have the same pics anyway. I love your pic of Colin and GAH THE BRADLEY ONE OF COURSE and omg i still can'T get over Colins SMILE. I had the feeling he was smiling all the time we saw him. GAH. SO ADORABLE. XD OMG I need to post my pics as well (my internet stopped working an hour ago *kicks it* i just saw your message. we will make a post when everyone posted pics??? IDK!!!! Or do we want to post individually in the communities? IDK!!! XD)

♥♥♥ *HUGSHUGS*

OMG WHAT A SILLY PIC OF MEMEME XD

[identity profile] ronsoftie.livejournal.com 2009-06-07 04:31 pm (UTC)(link)
(I think a post with a collection of links might be better, otherwise it would be too much spam if all of us post individually.)

I am so happy about my Colin pic. And yes, he seemed to be smiling all the time! GOSH HE IS SO FUCKING ADORABLE XD I don't think I will ever get over his cuteness!

I love the MEMEME pic XD (Who has all the pictures with the water bottles? *lol* I only have one of you!)

*huggles and doesn't let go again* I can't wait till we all see each other again, whenever that will be :) I miss you gals XD

(Did you see my other entry? With general pics of the trip?)

Sweetie THAT IS BEYOND AWESOME *flails*

Oh God ... I think I forgot how to breath O_o

Colin + green plastic bag = FTW !!!
And Bradley in blue jacket .... *flails*

NGHHHHH .... I love them both so much it hurts *melts*

[identity profile] ronsoftie.livejournal.com 2009-06-07 05:06 pm (UTC)(link)
*flails with you* I am still not completely sure this really happened. *lol* Especially because I only knew about a day before they left that I could join them, it all went down so quickly. One minute I was sad I couldn't go with the girls, the next I was sitting in a car heading towards France :)

Colin carried that green bag around with him at all times XD

I know, it is so crazy how much I adore them XD I wanna go back and live at that castle and do this every day :)

Btw., would you mind friending me? I mean, we talked a few times in other people's LJs and in your community, so I thought maybe we could add each other? As I am having a none shy day today, I am finally asking ;)

Thanks again for another awesome entry!!!!

All your pics are too wonderful but apart from the obvious I particularly like the one with the four knights sitting next to the wall! LOL!!!

[identity profile] ronsoftie.livejournal.com 2009-06-07 05:12 pm (UTC)(link)
XD

The pic of the knights is one of my favourite ones too :D Also the one where they are lying around on the grass.

Man, now I'm really jealous. XD Seeing the cast is one thing, but being able to look at the whole castle, inside and out? So cool. *wants*

[identity profile] ronsoftie.livejournal.com 2009-06-07 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Gosh, I know! We have been really lucky with everything!

Aww, this makes even ME totally squee-ish. And I'm ONLY a Merlin-show fan, without the bits around it :D

Hehe. I am glad I could make you a squee-ish about Merlin ;)

Wow! thank you so much for sharing these. Wonderful pics!!! Looks like you all had a lot of fun, too :-)

I had the same reaction when I saw the boys and girls at London Expo - they are so gorgeous in real life it's insane.

*drools over Bradley in blue*

[identity profile] ronsoftie.livejournal.com 2009-06-08 08:26 am (UTC)(link)
Aw, thank you, I am glad you enjoyed looking at my pictures :D

And it's so great you got to see them as well, the last few weeks have been really good to us Merlin fans, so many of us got to see the boys and girls!

Bradley in blue is just unbelievable! Guh! How are we ever going to survive season 2?!

Hello, random fan here who followed a link from luisadeza's journal to see your marvellous pics :D

It looks like you had a great day. Like I commented on luisadeza's post, I cannot quite believe you were able to wander so freely around the set and so close to the actors. How amazing!

I couldn't see the pictures on luisadeza's journal so thank you very much for posting yours :D Angel looks stunning in that dress, thank god they've taken her out of those shapeless clothes.

I'm glad you had a great day nosing around the castle and posing (and perving at Bradley and Colin. What is in that bag Colin?!). Oh, and I totally wouldn't have had the courage to approach any of the actors (thankfully I met them ever so briefly at Expo, hee). Thanks again!

[identity profile] ronsoftie.livejournal.com 2009-06-08 08:32 am (UTC)(link)
Aw thanks :) I am glad you enjoyed looking at my pictures :D

Yes, it was all quite unreal really. We walked into the castle and more or less the first thing that happens is Bradley strolling out of a door. Being joined by Colin a few seconds later. It was like an instant brain freeze ;)

We were just feeling uncomfortable disturbing them while they were working, it just doesn't seem right. If we had known that they were finished working for the day when they left the last time, we would have gone up to them, but we didn't know them. But we were so extremely lucky to get to see them all and actually get to see a scene being filmed :D

[identity profile] estioe.livejournal.com 2009-06-08 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, thank you for sharing! Bradley comment about Colin is particularly laugh inducing! Hehe. :D

[identity profile] ronsoftie.livejournal.com 2009-06-08 08:33 am (UTC)(link)
No problem, I am happy to share :D

Heh, and Bradley knew exactly we could hear him shouting down to the courtyard ;)

[identity profile] feilongfan.livejournal.com 2009-06-08 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you for these pictures. Bradley's comment on Colin and the fact he shouted that everyone could hear. hmm...

[identity profile] ronsoftie.livejournal.com 2009-06-08 08:37 am (UTC)(link)

Haha yes, he knew exactly we could hear him shouting this down to the guy on the ground :)

Aw, thank you :)

Heh, he really does love the attention, doesn't he? He was doing some sort of jumping jack (I hope that's the right English word for it) performance on the stairs before he lounged around on them. Oh, how do I love that guy ♥

These are all amazing, thank you for sharing! ♥

He was talking to someone on the ground, saying something about Colin being cheeky and if anyone sees him, he should be slapped.

♥♥♥♥♥♥

Also, that photo of Gwen you took with her walking across the courtyard is beautiful!

Morgana's shoes make me laugh :p

You all look like you had such fun, I can't wait to go! (though that will be in August, and I'm sure the filming will be over by then)

[identity profile] ronsoftie.livejournal.com 2009-06-08 02:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you, and I am glad you enjoyed my pics :)

I was joking around that I would have probably broken my neck walking around in these shoes on cobblestone.

They might be back in again in August though!! I'll cross my fingers for you :D

Heh, Colin does that to us, doesn't he? He really is the cutest thing EVER! It was so lovely seeing him a couple of times, and he seemed to be in a real good and sunny mood, always smiling to himself - and at us once :)

I am only happy to share :D And I am glad you enjoyed my post, and yeah, I think we never stopped smiling all day long :)

I KNOW! How are we going to survive season 2 with all the goodies we already know we are getting? The jousting (I am so going to need somebody there with me to keep me breathing during that episode), Arthur in blue (GAH!), those riding breeches (GUH!) - it'll kill us all dead!!

I so wanted to take Colin home with me :) We should have promised him an exciting road trip through France via Belgium to Germany, I am sure he would have loved it ;) If he wanted we would have even taken Bradley as well, anything for Colin, right?
