I took quite a bit of video on that trip, but not many photos. My wife took them instead and printed them out for an album. Now I'm not sure where the digital versions are. I must have a root round for them sometime.Quote:

Paul, looking forward to see your pictures.
Strangely, these photos make me nostalgic... Great shots, Gilliat.Quote:

A flying fish:
(not the best shot. The fish is in the midst of the dissipating foam. They were few and far between and difficult to catch in their brief flight)

Awesome photos! I'd forgotten all about flying fish...are they endangered?
Something is not working here. Uploading is not going so well xD.
Never mind, uploading is not working for me right now.. Then I'll just comment on Gilliat Gurgle's picture. I love those and they make me want to go back to Italy so bad!
The pictures are wonderful Gilliatt! The fins of flying fish are clearly visible in second photo. And I loved the breathtaking view of sunset. Thanks for sharing.

Whoa. Nice Pix.
Also, cool siggy!
Thanks and from what I read, they are not endangered or certainly not the species found in the Gulf of Mexico. The one you see was among a group of twenty or so that took flight when the school was disturbed. The challenge is trying to lock in on one and keep it in focus.Quote:

Always amazing pictures on here.
Here's one of the river at Royal Leamington Spa. (We just usually call it Leamington).

It's a lovely building, but it's buried in the back streets and surrounded by concrete monsters.
Wonderful Paul.
The first one is quite serene with the Willow drooping towards the calm water, the Church rising above the village.
What church btw?
1509 !! The Spanish were just beginning to set foot over here discovering the comparitively crude stone structures of the native inhabitants; "Anasazi", in the southwest.
Thanks for sharing.
Your pictures are amazing Paul, thanks for sharing.
Here are few recent photos of my nieces.

Ford's hospital is on a backstreet with nothing of interest around it.
Here's another gem which sits isolated by the ring road.
[IMG]http://i995.photobucket.com/albums/a...1/Rcookst1.jpg[/IMG]
This is Cook Street Gate built in 1385. It sits at the top of a small garden, but is virtually unused. I often ride through it as it leads to a path to a bridge I cross on my bike. The whole city was walled until after the Restoration of the Monarchy when the King ordered it pulled down so as not to oppose royal power in future. Coventry was Parliamentarian during the civil war.
The crenellations atop were added later.
Thanks Gilliatt it's my favourite too.Quote:

We encountered wild boars in the nearby forest; they followed us to the house and then walked straight to the children’s park.

Wow ! These are quite lovely pictures and the dull sunlight is indicating cold weather, am I right ? . I hope you had a great time there and it seems it was an adventurous trip as you encountered wild animals.
Yes, it was very cold there and we had an adventurous trip. Many locals have seen a couple of leopards in those woods. I wanted to try my luck too and go further into the deep woods but my uncle forbade me. He said don’t try to become Jim Corbett around here. heheQuote:

Thanks again for more images of Muree. Seeing the boars reminds me of the feral hogs and javalinas found in Texas. I can almost smell the scent of the pine trees.Quote:

So, it means there were more than one Jim Corbett, you and your cousin and perhaps the leopard itself was scared to see two of them and tried to frighten them away by growling. :smilewinkgrin:Quote:

Here comes a picture I shot on the beach.
It's an amazing picture, where did you take it?
Snowqueen, your photos are brilliant! With your photography you always manage to capture beauty of living perfectly (these trees appear to be as alive as the children playing cricket!) :) It makes me want to take the bus to Murree straight away! :p
I took it on Jumeirah Beach, Dubai.Quote:
