Pictures from the January 2013 VGHVI Minecraft session; we’ve been doing this for more than two years now!
First, some pictures taken while flying around the world looking at things:

A pig inside the fire temple

A duck in front of the nether portal

A snowy island with duck and pig
Including chunk edge glitches, which always fascinate me:

Crevasse with mine

The view of that crevasse from the other direction, showing the abrupt edge against the water

A cliff at the edge of the water

A crevasse with pigs on the side and water along the bottom

Further down the crevasse, as the grass on the side gives way to trees

Strange water behavior in a crevasse
Some of our constructions had changed since the last time I looked at them:

Somebody added pictures to Miranda’s CST protest sign

There had been an explosion in the nether library
Roger was continuing his work on the foundation of his church; that’s going to be a big project!

Working on the church foundation

The church foundation is starting to fill out
And when I teleported to Dan, at first I couldn’t tell what he was doing, but it turns out that he was working on an enormous tower:

Dan working inside the base of the tower

Looking up through the darkness

Looking up in the daytime

The outside of the tower

Looking down the middle of the tower

A cloud passes through the tower
Miranda worked some on a building (that I think she’d started before, though I could be wrong), and then built an enormous tree next to the building:

Miranda examines the building

Books and a bed

The roof of the building

Starting work on the tree

A view of the tree and the building from above

Looking out upon snowy hills

Adding scaffolding and greenery to the tree

The bottom of the tree stairs

Climbing up the stairs

Looking out from the stairs
