    Oh, yeah, very famous up at Assateague and Chincoteague on the Eastern Shore near Maryland. But they are also on Pine Mountain here in SW VA, and like at Chincoteague, are rounded up and so many sold once a year so as to keep the population in line with the reasourses that they depend upon. I hiked the AT through there once in the fog, and one of the stallions made sure I stayed on the path. He followed me and reared up and whinnied every time I stepped off on "his turf." Hee. I'll swear this is a true story!

    ...Can't...resist...



    MUTATO MUZIKA!!!! Where AMAZING music is composed for film, video games, and TV ads!

    *realizes that she must be more specific*

    The big lime green UFO office where three former DEVO band members work on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, about an hour away from where I live. I took this picture while spazzing out in a moving car...eheheheh. ^^'

    It's also where the neighbors come to complain about the color of the building. What do they know? The traditional poo-poo-colored building is LAME.

    I am so lucky.

    ...

    Oooh! Oooh! Look, everyone! You can even see the L.A. smog in the air! See it? It's all yellow! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!!! AND a big billboard advertisment for Hairspray! Don't you just love city life?



    Moira, those photos are gorgeous! What nice panoramic views! And the temple! Such exciting, exotic places...I would love to travel there. Or any place new. I've never been outside the U.S.

    Added bonus! As we were driving along Sunset Boulevard, (I don't think I've ever been down Sunset, actually. Heh heh.) we went past the Beverly Hills Hotel. I took a picture of the exit. I also took a picture of the hotel itself, but the picture is really, really bad. There's this huge bush in the way, unfortunately.



    I love how it looks all movie-star oriented down there. And it is. Being down there reminds me of the '30s or something like that. I always think of the classic movies when I'm down there. I'd hate to live in the big city, though. Especially L.A. Nice places to visit, NOT a good place to live.

    Again, I am SOOOOOO lucky.

    Sweet! Thats a great reflection on the intelligence of the horse, loved it, Pen.

    As for the pictures, everyone, LOVED them all... you are all so talented at this art of photography. The close ups are brilliant, thanks again!

    Here are a few pictures i took with the camera on my phone that i want to share with you all.
    This is a pic i took a few weeks ago of Dublin bay from Howth Head.

    And these i took this evening on Bettystown beach in county Meath.
    This is a pic i took looking up the beach before we started walking. You can se the cooley Mountains in the backround.

    This was when my friend and i got to the top of the beach. The sun was starting to set when i took it.

    And these i took as the sun was setting when we were walking back to the car.

    Sorry for the double post, but I thought I'd share a few photos, too. I was up North last week (I actually go there a lot, but anyhow)... we got pelted by rain, which was annoying. BUT: the rain showers surprisingly were short and sweet and left us with an awesome rainbow, my regular camera caught it quite nice (think, if I only had a digital, sigh):



    and this one:



    And I called this one the beach at dusk, but it was just passed suppertime, so yeah, anyhow:
