Very nice pictures, Madhuri! Loved them! :D
Beautiful pictures Maddie. Thank you. :)
Thank you guys :D
In continuation here are some more pictures from inside of the City palace :D
1) This is the place where the Rani's (queens) would get ready. Notice that the walls and the ceiling has mirrors. The red coloured material hanging from the ceiling is a fan, and the string coming out of it (from the center) was used to move it; some maid would sit outside of the room and pull the string to move the fan.

2) This is a place for the Rani's to lounge around on a swing.

3) This is the waiting area, where the Rani's would wait for the Raja (king) after getting ready.

4) This is the chamber of a king who had polio. Although, he was married he never really live like a married person, and his needs were simple.

They aren't very good but they capture Kentucky well, I think.
Madhuri, those are very fascinating pictures from India. That palace is so ornate!
AdoreroDio, I really like those landscape shots. I couldn't figure out what the last picture was, though.
It's sort of abstract but it's a walk way- with gravel, grass, and concrete.
aaah... now I get it. Thanks.Quote:

Who do you think won?

Nice pictures of D.C., Mortis Anarchy. I remember being really impressed by the subway there!
If the Air Force won, that would have been a very exciting 29 seconds!
Yes, very nice, Mortis Anarchy.
Did the . . .Navy win?

Were you allowed to take pics inside? or even go inside?
we were allowed inside but not allowed to take pics. Was the same with Newgrange in Co.Meath and Mary Kings Close in Edinburgh. What you wanted to photograph most you werent allowed to.:(
Nice pictures Niamh. But Shakespeare wasn't born in Worcester. :confused: I thought it was Strafford-Upon-Avon. :pQuote:

These are some taken on the river Severn. You can see Worcester Cathedral in the backround of some of them.

aw, those swans are cute!
did you go to the other Shaky houses as well? (that one outside Stratford, what was it, his wife's birthplace or something?). I've visited Shaky's house two or three times but not the other ones :(
Worcester cathedral is nice :) i ended up in Worcester once because I fell asleep on the train to Stratford and it went on to Worcester for some reason although it didn't say anywhere on the timetable. so I had to stay there because there was no train back on the same day :p
no we just went to his birthplace.Quote:

My oldest son and I drove to Minot this morning to go to the Norsk Høstfest. It had been a cold night so there was frost covering everything and it was horrendously foggy, there were times when all I could see was the 10 feet or so of the road right in front of me but there were breaks in the fog and one such break was just as we were nearing a wind farm. We were in a bit of a hurry but I thought the chance of the particular combination, windmills, fog, frost and sunrise would be a hard one to replicate so I stopped. The frost didn't show up very well which was a little disappointing but the rest was captured nicely.

Nice Idril. :)
Can anyone recommned a good inexpensive digital camera for someone like me - I am not much of a photographer but I need a camera. My husband bought me one for Christmas a few years ago, but it was an inexpensive recorder also, and I don't like it. It's too hard to use and it makes poor quality images (mustek) anyone got any suggestions? I need something easy to use with good results and I don't want to spend a whole more than 200. I could possibly go a little higher, but not much. Mainly I am looking for something idiot proof.
I k now what you mean Shalot. I've had my camera (a nikon coolpix) for a couple of years and all the different settings still confuse me. I did a quick research for you and this is what I found: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1895,2174702,00.asp. I can't vouch for it from personal experience, but it sounds like something that might workout for you. And with 8 megapixals, that should take very nice pictures. Actually I can't believe you can get an 8 megapixal camera for under $200. Sounds like a good deal.Quote:

My mom recently got one for about $130 that takes spectacular photos, and she also loves the printer dock she got, which produces Kodak quality prints for you at home. I just took a quick look on their site, http://cameras.kodak.com/ and it looks as though within your price range you could get a camera with 8.2 megapixels and a 3X optical zoom for about $180, and there are other more economical but still quality options to choose from.Quote:

Nice photos Sleepy. How cute. They seem too friendly to be wild.
Well, that would depend on who you talk to, there are those that find it mind-numbingly dull but I think it's beautiful. It has a very simple, natural, rustic beauty unencumbered by development or large cities. :p I live in the capitol which is the second biggest city in the state and and yet within 10 minutes I can be out in the middle of nowhere and I love that. It may not be exciting but that's what travel is for. :)Quote:

Maddy, the pictures were totally breath-taking. Thank you for posting them!
AdoreroDio, you have captured Kentucky well. I enjoyed not only the photos themselves, but the artistic method in which you captured them. Lovely.
Mortis -- cool photos, I have never been to Washington. :)
Niamh, You make me wish I could be there -- lovely pictures, thanks for sharing them!
Idril, your photos are stunning -- what kind of camera do you take these with, the clarity is awesome!
Sleepy, those were endearing photos (you know me and my animal-loving-side). I LOVED those cute boars! Lucky girl to have fed them! :)
uncooked macaronis :)Quote:

I feel cheated :blush:Quote:

Niamh, what incredible photos. I just love them all! Very nice photos of you and your friends. I like that last one of you in particular. Now we know what our Niamh really looks like and she is quite pretty indeed. Keep these cool photos coming.
Beautiful pictures Naimh. Such a charming looking place. And photos of you and your friends. :)
