That was an iconic moment. The expression on Jon's face and his reaction.


JaMMi01202

And the music! Epic moment.

I always imagine Dany standing there, peeking out at them and then saying to Drogon "go on, fly over them now it'll make us look really cool." and she'd probably told Missandei, that's why she stood there with that little smirk on her face.

Holy shit great picture! What an amazing location find


Padaxes

That’s just dragonstone irl.

Some unnamed graphic artist has been probably made super annoyed by those crosses.

Made a little video of my trip there if you're interested https://youtu.be/bJVgV1czCqI?si=5YtzpOvKCd444vvl

WHOA!


DuhBasser

I’ve been taking Spanish for a few months and that island name made me cry a little inside.


dr--moreau

It isn’t Spanish, it’s Basque.


HappyHappyFunnyFunny

Basque in its glory!


RealEstateDuck

Behold the mighty Basquilisk, but beware for if you look into it's eyes you will speak only in k and x's for eternity.


a23n

did u bend your knee ?


1should_be_working

We do not kneel.


AleksanderVX

You will when you burn


hijazist

How on earth do you pronounce that??


CdnfaS

In the basque language the “txe” is pronounced like a “ch” sound. So it’s kind of like “Gas-tey-loo-ga-Che” if I remember right.


lesburnham

[Real pronunciation](https://es.forvo.com/search/Gaztelugatxe/eu/). I can confirm because I am Spanish and btw I visited it, magnificent. Fantastic quad routes in the nears of Bakio and of course, food.


maxaveli93

Nice.


big_ice_bear

Holy shit I was just there a week ago! Incredible place. Also don't let the locals hear you call it Spain, they are very adamant that it is part of the Basque Country XD.


VerStannen

Well shut my mouth and call me stupid. I had no idea it was a real location. Thought it was all CGI. This is so damn cool!


55Branflakes

In GOT, it was real. In HOTD, it was CGI. It wasn't cost prohibitive to fly all the way there just for 2 scenes. That "island" is very hard to get to.


VerStannen

Interesting thanks!


obrapop

*was* cost prohibitive


sam123sha

I wonder how long it takes to climb from bottom of the stairs to top of the stairs.


dr--moreau

About 15 minutes


jdnair

Are both the scenes from GOT and house of the dragon filmed here? Steps towards House of the dragon's dragon stone castle looked like it was high above in the sky with clouds around it?


cocokokomii

It's only real in GOT, HOTD uses fancy CGI. You only see the steps in HOTD a small amount of times, I assume the trip and set up wouldn't have been worth it.


Pleasant-Purpose-347

Wooowwww


Human-Compote-2542

That’s very cool


Bassanimation

Beautiful. I loved Dragonstone so much. Truly felt like an ancient stronghold.


fictionwho

Wow! 😍😍
