Idril, romping around those rock formations at Badlands looks like a lot of fun! Those egg-shaped formations are very interesting.
Shurtugal, your guinea pigs are very cute.
sofia82, thanks for sharing your fountain pictures -- I really like the one with just a blob of water in front of some palm trees.
Nightshade, the sepia makes those buildings look like they are in an old town indeed.
To do my part:
Here is a shot of Yosemite falls with some low clouds:

Here is a shot from Mount Shasta of Shastina rising up above the clouds:

Thanks, Antiquarian. Which is called quelle, the cloud or the waterfall?
Thanks for the compliment and for the tidbits of info! Leave it to people living by the Alps to have a specific word for Nebelmeer, I guess. :)
Wow! Thank you Anti!!! I become so happy to hear that!! I think about that camera of my dreams seriously!!!Quote:

@sofia; your brother's comment is funny. :) I'm a 'thing' picture-taker too; I don't take very many people shots.
@nightshade, the sepia is cool, and so are your odd angles! I love finding interesting perspectives. :)
@everybody else; just because I don't comment on your photo, don't take offense, please! I just had specific comments that applied to these two people; but I still enjoyed all the others. :)
I just take pictures of people in unusual positions and gestures especially those of my brother. He is funny, too. Imagine, he is in every corner of most of my pictures :bawling:and because of this if I ask him take my picture, he will take half of me in the picture :DQuote:

What are these called in English?
Bouganvilla.
Beautiful Begonvil, in Turkish :)
From the picture it looks like azaleas to me. Do they blosom in the spring for a couple of weeks and then look like a green bush until the leaves fall in the autumn?Quote:

I don't thin they are azaleas! We call other flowers azaleas!Quote:

I am no plant expert too. I call all flowers, flowers just a few can name and all trees just trees :lol: I think I have to respect their identities but so sorry :DQuote:

Sophia, this one particular bush you have posted is quite lovely - I love that shade of pink and the blooms look so papery and delicate. I bet they smell heavenly.
Did you look up Bouganvilla on Wikipedia, to see if they do look the same?
yes, I checked and it is Bouganvilla. We had this flower, but now not. Oh papery, we call them in persian papery flower. They are really beautiful.Quote:

Wow! I've never seen Bouganvill in this size. Where I live, the weather is cold, of course not like Canada and Alaska, but this flower can't grow outdoors, just indoors and most people have at thier home. In warmer parts near Persian gulf, there are huge kind of these outdoors with beautiful view. I love them especially in different colors.Quote:

Some recent pictures from Karpathos, Greece. We enjoyed good food and drink, warm water and lots of sun.... and four earthquakes (nothing big, just up to 5.3 on the Richter scale, but quite enough for me) And yes, the camera got a workout, too :lol:

A sleepy cat. I suppose he had been partying the previous night?
http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o...s/IMG_0640.jpgThere were lots of those pigeons around. We could hear them around the clock.
http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o...s/IMG_0655.jpg
Lots of those around too.

A good place to visit if you need a bit of physical exercise.
More to come...

Great pictures Claes. They are all fascinating. But I must say the one with the cat is absolutely marvelous. You caught it at the perfect moment. I'm sure you're a good photographer but that was very lucky. :)
