Piper! You're so youthful!!
Hey vintage one, nice pics! I think I've missed your arrival on this lively forum, so may I ask about this Dubai thing? Have you moved there or something? From where? Just curious, as by the way I am known for being quite a traveller myself... A friend of mine was in Dubai but just for one day, so I know that it's all so big and modern there but still it's a very peculiar sight!
Thank you all!!Quote:

Lucky you piper to have traveled so much, would love to hear what it is like to live there! I've seen so much in the news recently regarding The Palm, Deira development. The culture there seems to embrace so many others, it's obviously a very rich country and open to so many different nationalities that you see the influences of them all.

Piper, you are so pretty :)
I changed my picture to a more recent one, I can only stand to look at a picture of me for so long and then it has to go. :rolleyes:

Wow, thank you for sharing Koa. My homeland is beautiful! I must visit someday.
Those are great, Koa! I'm quite fascinated with that area even though I have no familial ties to it. It all comes from reading such a large amount of Russian lit. ;) The architecture is just breathtaking.
What is that structure in the 25th picture of second photo album, the Voyage one? It looks like an old fortress or something.
My favorite was that huuuuge seaside staircase in Odessa. That looks absolutely amazing, and all the architecture, theres simply nothing like it over here, we focus too little on aesthetics. Once again, thank you for sharing, you are so lucky.
fascinating pics Koa,I loved them.
Yup, Kiev does look great ! :D
Hope you're enjoying yourself there, Koa ! :nod:
The buildings look all so oriental to me, I'd love to visit the city again one day.
Eh...I forgot to give some explanation, yes it's a Turkish fortress of the middle ages located in a small town not too far from Odessa.Quote:

Wow, those pictures look great, Koa. Nice job.

Nice pics, Jamesian...may I ask, what is your avatar? It appears to be a head wound??
Quite right. I believe it was on the evening of my final offical piano lesson a few months ago, as I was making my way to the restroom, that I smacked my head - with some force, it should be acknowledged - into this malicious pipe that was hanging from the ceiling (it is a very old building, so there are strange things like that scattered about). It is difficult to see, the photo not being the best, but in the bottom half of it, in the very center, there is a line, almost black, and horribly lengthy, following the part in my hair. That is the longer section of the cut's "L"-shape, which goes off to the left upon reaching the middle of my head. Fun stuff.
Nice photos, Jamesian!
Nice phots James. You seem to be a handsome young man. Sorry to hear about banging your head. That has to be one of the most imaginative avatars yet.;)
yes,what a creative avatar you got james and I like your hair:)does that wound has a deep effect on u?I've never heard of someone who takes photoes for wounds!actully they are bad memories an need to be buried not photographed:DI like how a person can be different than the common!!
No, the wound was actually not a very big deal, surprisingly enough. It didn't bleed a great deal (it just never stopped for, like, two days!) My friend discovered that my hair was all bloody that night and began "doctoring me up", so to speak, and took a photo while he was about it. The picture is just what was immediately available when I was looking for a pic for my facebook (I do not much like being photographed), so I stuck it up here.Quote:

So you are a pianist?
After my last recital - late June, I think it was - I slowed down a bit with it. I had been playing four and a half years or so, and realized I would not be able in college (having given up on the piano major - I cannot compete with those Asians!) to practice four hours a day like I had been. So now I just practice when some excess free time presents itself and I am not reading something or goofing off here.Quote:

Nice pictures Koa and Jamesian. Very nice looking guy Jamesian, but don't go about hitting your head anymore okay!
Thank you for the comment Nightwalk.
I'm glad you all like the pics. I just love to take pictures, because I try to remember the whole atmosphere and feelings of the moment when I took them :) Sometimes they can be boring for others, I know, but I also want to show the things I saw, even if other people can't feel them the same way I do because they weren't there. Same for when I look at other people's pics, they barely satisfy my curiosity because I cannot share the feeling of having actually been there...
Oh! I was wondering what was up with your new avatar! ouch!
