Olga and Claes thanks for sharing these are wonderful pictures.

I am glad you like them. My camera has always accompanied me on journeys since I bought it, so I have quite a lot of pictures. It would seem strange to me if I didn't have a camera to hand when I am travelling and it makes a visit more enjoyable to be able to seek out interesting sights or artifacts as a memento of the trip. I will try to post some others later.

It's a pleasure for me to have this opportunity to post some of my pictures here to let other people enjoy the beauty I was blessed to notice and record.

Yes you are quite right. I always try to keep my camera with me when I’m traveling. (I travel less though)

Yes it's a good idea. Please remember that my travels have been taken over many years and you may still travel much more in the years ahead. Tomorrow, I am going to the South coast of England for the day and I will certainly take some pictures which I hope to show on this thread later on.

Great pictures, Claes, but what is the dolphin doing on land in the last one?

Your pictures are just splendid, Claes!

Especially one of tiger, it's a cat too :lol::lol:

I can’t keep up!
We have so many great photos from so many parts of the world.

Olga,
The composition of your first photo is engaging with the rock opening, framing the rugged talus slope beyond. And let’s not forget the cat who looks quite regal and in command of the castle.

I have to say “an unexpected meeting” is my favorite. The cats’ postures and expressions say it all.

Brian
You’re on a roll! Please continue digging up those photos. I recall visiting Lake Lucerne during my 1988 summer Europe trip. By the way, I have been rounding up more photos from the past, many of which are architectural in nature. I’ll place a few on the architecture thread as well.

Claes,
Brilliant clarity! The hedgehog doesn’t seem to be too bothered by your presence which is further demonstrated by sticking the tongue out.
I had mentioned to Brian that I am looking to invest in a decent 35mm DSLR. Currently, I own a Canon compact digital, about four years old now and my old (C-1980) Pentax ME Super 35mm SLR film camera. I’m leaning toward Pentax since I already own several lenses that supposedly will fit a new Pentax. Perhaps we can chat about cameras on the side.

Here are a few random selections many of which are scanned from older film prints:

Gothic period jamb statues at one of several entry portals at ___________. Yes, I have a mystery on my hands. I don’t recall where this is. Clue: After scanning the negatives, I noticed it falls between photos of La Tourette Monastery in France and Barcelona Spain. Taken in 1988.

Absolutley: There is in fact an old thread about cameras around here somewhere. Perhaps it is time to revive it? I am not using a SLR these days, btw. I have a Canon Powershot 100, which was a high end pocket camera when I bought it, but is nothing special today.

Your pictures are amazing Claes.

Here is a photo of my little cousin.
