Pictures Taken By you...

[Gilliatt Gurgle]

These are great pictures Gilliatt. I loved the way you have captured the movement of that dancing woman in the third photo. The first picture is equally amazing. I think this Dalmatian wants to sit on the bench to enjoy the view.

Thanks. The incident with the woman was amusing. I recall her casually walking by, pausing to set her purse down (in the photo), commenced to do a few jigs, picked up the purse and continued on her way.

The dog was feeling a bit verklempt after touring what was once the site of Domitian’s stadium, feasting its eyes on such wonders as Gian Lorenzo Bernini’s “Fountain of the Four Rivers” and Sant'Agnese in Agone church.

A couple of shots of Bernini’s fountain:

View of Salzburg and the Salzach river (Austria) as seen from Festung Hohensalzburg:

We've been to Salzburg three times: once in summer and twice just before Christmas. That view is great. It reminds me of when I went up to the Hohenzollern Castle which hosts a great military museum with the lad. We had a great time, and the views from up there were amazing. My wife also bought me a watercolour with those green domes on when we were there.

Happy, indeed.

It's nice to see good news. All the best. Great photos by the way.

Thanks Paul, I remember you had recently mentioned a trip to Salzburg. I have a few more pics of Salzburg and Innsbrucke I'll share with you at some point.
I'll take a break here to avoid hogging the thread.
Perhaps you have some photos of your Salzburg trip?

Thank you, Paul.

I was looking through some old pictures and ran across a couple from Christmas at the cabin I thought I would share.

As always, I took a lot of pictures of the frozen lake:







A picture of my parents' dog, Freya. She looks so ashamed, poor thing.



And this is the church my parents go to. I love that it's just in the middle of nowhere. It doesn't even have running water, just an outhouse which makes it even more fabulous...not so much in the winter though.

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.

Gilliatt, the pictures are really wonderful I don’t remember seeing them on your Photobucket account.

Idril, I liked your photos Freya is cute dog. Thanks for sharing.

Paul, looking forward to see your pictures.

Strangely, these photos make me nostalgic... Great shots, Gilliat.

I'll bump this thread by adding a couple of photos from the Gulf of Mexico:

Sunset on the Gulf.






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.

[RicMisc]

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!

[Snowqueen]

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.
