They are great photos Iris. I think the second one most interesting, and the third is very nicely done.

Ahh, yes. I agree with Virgil. I like the second one.
here's a picture in my mother's backyard from when we had 18 inches of snow. My great niece decided to name the snowman Maurice
That's a great picture/group shot. Why can't I get everyone to smile when I attempt these type family photos? Is that you in the sunglasses? I love all of your smiles....cute snowman - Maurice...hahah...is that you mom in the middle? She looks a little like you.Quote:

First person to correctly name the airframes pictured gets a worthless internet cookie!
If I say they are aeroplanes do I win?
Nicen!!
Did you take those?
Well, they are airplanes...Quote:

Ah! Very neat! My town is still frozen, we usually get spring in April (but I can't wait).
I'm no good at naming planes and helicopters, but is that a Huricane? Now do you pilot those?Quote:

Ah yes, the Osprey. That's the one that tilts the copter blades, right? The others must also be naval helicopters. I just can't place them. The middle one almost looks like a chinook but that's Army I think.Quote:

The first is an MH-60S, used by the Navy, and the middle is indeed a Chinook. Some Army units get their landing qualifications on Navy ships (this was news to me).Quote:

I lvoe pictures of clouds!
Nice pictures Snowqueen, but after the storms we've been getting the last two days and continue with today, I'd rather not think about clouds at the moment. :wink5: I want some sunshine! :lol:
Nice pictures Iris. Looks like a charming old city. :)
Le Iris, beautiful pictures. I've always wanted to see Eastern Europe. I take it you are latvian?
Niamh, Thank you. No, I'm Russian, but I live in Lithuania. Lithuania is in the neighbourhood with Latvia. We just came to Riga to take part in competitions)
Virgil, thanks ^_^

Love this one, (the third one) in particular. :)
SnowQueen and Iris, your pictures are awesome!
Thanks Niamh I love clouds too.
Thank you qimissung. :)
I took these pictures right after the storm. :brow: But don't you worry I'll post some sunsets for you. :yesnod:Quote:

If not scroll back a bit. :)
Neely, it doesn't work. Anyway, thank you very much ^^
We've managed to get out for a quick ride today for the first time this year and took my camera along for a change. It is good to get out even if it is just for a bit. This is our usual quick circular route around the Strines reservoir, stopping off at the Strines pub half way round.
There's some good quiet roads up there:

That's me up ahead. I'm far too handsome to appear any closer!

At the back Strines reservoir and the area around it always looks great:

Dam Flask which is right on the edge of the Peaks which we ride around to get to the Strines. You can see the Peak milestone marker on the right.

Just before Lower Bradfield. Look lambs!:

The Strines pub, it's part of a 14th century Inn, I was going to take some photos inside (it's full of country things, old beams and stuffed animals etc) but people were all tucking into their Sunday lunches so I thought it would have been a bit rude. They even had the open fire going which it didn't need, far too warm, we sit outside anyway.

This is actually for me one of the best places on the whole ride and this shot just doesn't do it justice. In the middle you can just make out this big country house which has loads of acres of private land and easy access to the reservoir. They have even got their own tennis court. To the right on the hill you can just see the folly (the little tower thingy) which can be seen for miles around.

Cool, I think that I could see the leaves just starting to poke out on those branches. The seasons are much earlier there then they are here, I had another snow storm today.
What lovely countryside Neely. I love the pictures. And I wonder if those lambs make tastey lamb chops. :D
Beautiful images, Neely. Thanks for posting them.
Neely,
Your pictures sound wonderful, if only I could see them!
This includes the set you sent earlier in the month.
(I was able to see your snowman photos -go figure)
For some reason your images appear as those nasty white boxes with a red X in the center!
I am able to see photos by other posters.

Yes thanks Virgil/Comedian, it is great to get out for sanity purposes. I don't like lamb though...
It's a shame you can't see them, I don't know why that is, there's a couple I've found of the net to give you an idea - these look like summer shots though:

My jammy brother has been out again today while some of us have be doing hard labour in the classrooms of Britain!:rolleyes5:
Very nice Neely. :)
I know. I still can't believe this is not more than 6 or 7 miles from my house which is in an estate on the poor side of the city. When I get mega rich for knowing "stuff about Wilde" :rolleyes5: I'm moving 6 miles away!!! (or to Italy) whichever is closer! :)
It does look like Tuscany. Buy up as much land there as you can and be into real estate. You'll make a fortune when the secret gets out. :lol:Quote:
