The Game of Thrones final season is so close, guys!
It's hard to think of a TV show with so much hype going into its last batch of episodes. I mean, there have been other huge finales before —Lost comes to mind, though I hope GoT ends on a less divisive note — but this feels special.
The growth of social media since Lost has also allowed fandom to grow in unique and interesting ways, such as with these awesome photos from Fangirl Quest.
I'm not just talking about the characters and plot and the show's ability to pull the rug out from under the audience on a regular basis, but also the show's sheer production values.
Especially how it's filmed on location.
Plus, by being filmed on location, it means that fans can relive the hype by visiting the exact spots where their favorite scenes were filmed.
That's exactly what travel blog Fangirl Quest has been doing.
Their claim to fame is photos called "sceneframes," in which they hold up a screenshot of a scene and perfectly lining it up with the filming location.
Game of Thrones has six major filming locations: Iceland, Northern Ireland, Croatia, Spain, Malta, and Morocco.
But don't worry, they've got plenty of locations to work with in just those two countries.
It was the site of the Wildling Camp and has some great rock formations to act as the backdrop for Ygritte and Tormund to have a heart-to-heart.
It seems like you can't take a walk without wandering into a sceneframe. Such as Brienne and Jaime travelling through the grounds of Audley’s Castle.
Such as here, where Stannis and Melisandre have a dramatic chat.
He was so young and innocent then, wasn't he? This was before Ramsay Bolton got ahold of him.
The old and gnarly beech trees line Bregagh Road in County Antrim.
In particular, the grounds housed Robb's war camp, but the castle's courtyard also doubled for Winterfell in the pic of the gathered Starks above.
Much of her traveling in season one was filmed in the Shillanavogy Valley in Northern Ireland. Since season one was filmed before HBO knew it would be a hit, it makes sense to keep the number of locations limited.
It's where the Stark siblings got their few minutes of happiness in the pilot, before everything went to hell.
It's pretty crazy to look back on those first episodes. The Stark kids have all been through so much in seven seasons, and season eight isn't likely to let up.
It's there that Jon Snow met Daenerys and was reunited with Tyrion for the first time since season one.
You have to admit that the cliffs make for a seriously epic backdrop for the scene.
It's pretty cool how a single area in Northern Ireland can act as the backdrop for such geographically distant parts of Westeros.
And I also can't wait to see the sceneframing photos Tiia and Satu create once they get to travel to the other four countries the show has been filmed in.
Be sure to check out all of their pics at their website and follow their posts on their Facebook page!
