Hi
Agreeing that the current is completely non-illustrative...not sure about a replacement. I think we'd need a lampshade.
I think the idea is that it's a castle in the modern day—it's a photograph of a castle looks false and has modern iron railings; maybe a Medieval Times–type place. But that's not to defend it; it still doesn't actually illustrate the trope.
Anyone else for pulling the current?

God that's bad. Pull.
If a tree falls in the forest and nobody remembers it, who else will you have ice cream with?
No, the other one.
It looks like a model castle of indeterminate size. Pull.

Hi
Clock is set.

I also think this is something that can't be properly pictured.

I'd think we'd have to go with a Comic panel or something lampshading this for there to really be a picture. The only other way would be to find a pic of something that most everybody knows which is under the trope.

Clock has expired, and since no one brought up a suggestion, closing this down.

The trope refers to (usually fantasy) settings where the technology level remains dormant for possibly thousands of years. All the image shows is a castle without any indication of stagnancy.
I have doubts this is a trope that can really be pictured. The only concept in my mind is something like a mediaeval city shown in one period and then the same city 1000 years later with the times indicated.
