Pictures Taken By you...

[Tyrion Cheddar]

Thanks, North Star. I feel less intimidated now.

Danik, Yes/No, Tyrion Cheddar, thanks for taking a look. It's a pleasure sharing it with you all.
Very nice shots, North Star.

Thanks Snowqueen. Your photos are once again very atmospheric.

Thanks, North Star. I feel less intimidated now.

What can I say, Tyrion.. They've all been chopped by now, and I don't mind telling you that I was in tears afterwards.

Now listen, North Star, I can take a joke but... I believe our G.I.'s used to sing it as they marched in Europe: "Hitler, he only has one [fill in metaphor for testicle that rhymes with tall], Goebbels, well he has none at all..."

So today I took a trip out to Cold Spring, NY, which lies on the lazy Hudson. Viz:

Snowqueen and birds are of a feather.
A bird whisperer she is.

The sky has that overcast autumn look to it.
We still have a ways to go, nevertheless, it served as a visual respite from the 100 deg days we're going through down here.

This will help get me through the next week at the grind stone.
Glad I jumped on the forum tonight.

This is a fine many-layered picture from the water off the beach to the lowering sky.

This is partly a test to see if I can post an image following my recent IT / Forums login navigation problems.

Father's Leica camera.

I loved this "still life" combination, GG. The camera reminds me of a family camera I kept for a long time when it didn´t work anymore. It wasn´t a Leica though.
It seems you have solved your navigations problems.

Gilliatt, this is an interesting collection of items, I particularly like your father's old camera and the old portable radio. My old Casio "Digital Camera" will soon be in this category, and many with old mobil phones as well.

Thanks for taking a look and commenting, I'm not sure how to feel about all these relics. On one hand it is rather sad that I seem to be the one inheriting the family's past as they pass on, yet I do enjoy the rediscovery.
The Leica is one of two that my father owned, the one in the photo, I'm fairly certain, happens to be the one he toted around in the Philippines during WW II as a fighter pilot.

A few thumbnail shots he took of P-38 Lightning (top 2) and C-47 (bottom) "nose art" with the Leica...







Oh my how times have changed!
