Did you not find that a bit intimidating? wouldnt want to be that close to him in the wild!Quote:
Niamh - Nice pictures of Edinburgh. You brought back memories of my trip there.
Claes - Oh my God!!! You actually got pictures of lions!! Wow. How far away were you from them?
Amazing. I haven't been on much here lately and i have neglected to visit this thread in quite a bit. I had to go back about eight pages to view all the great pictures.
Claes, I have no idea what your current career is, but if you told me professional photographer, I would not be surprised. Beautiful pictures. I love the lions.
Niamh and Cookie, you both took great pics of your trips, very nice. Cookie, you look so cute! Niamh, you must be photogenic, you're Irish. ;) I cannot believe otherwise.
Virgil, wow. Martha's Vineyard is beautiful in it's off season. You captured a real feeling of tranquility. Sadly, it is not the same place in the summer, lots of people around.
Great pics of the Eiffel tower too, although I wasn't sure who took those. Thank you everybody for posting such wonderful pictures. :)
Thank you. Strictly amateur, unfortunately. It would be nice to get payed for something I love doing, but alas... Anyway, I think I'll stick to Quality Engineering.Quote:

They look at you and you can see what they are thinking: "-Fine, you can hide in that thing, but if you even think about venturing outside, I'll take you apart..."Quote:

Kathy, I took those in August, the height of the crowded season. :lol: I just got up really early when no one was out yet. :D Best time to take pictures is in really early morning. Should I add, IMO? ;) :pQuote:

Nice that you're planning to take more photos of Dublin! I'd like a shot of Christ Church, if you please :D. And do ask your boy-friend to take on with you on it, too, you're such a fairy :nod:.
Concerning James Joyce's places: I noticed that there are golden (or copper) plates built into the pavement at places relating to Ulysses. They're approximately 30 x 30 cm (1 ft x 1 ft), and have the respective quotation from the book on them. I saw many of them, but I only recall there's one on O'Connell Bridge for sure (I stood right next to it on the picture), maybe you could take a pic of one of these for Virgil, Niamh? It might be easier to relate the scenary and the book, then :).
As soon as i get a good list going i'll get my camera out!Quote:
