Pictures Taken By you...

[miss tenderness]

There is more to that story: Guess what happened when I snapped it? The snake (not venomous, I might add) struck at the camera! Can you imagine what that looks like through a viewfinder? I snapped the shot, the shutter blinked, and then I saw a blur ending in a wide open pink mouth straight into the lens! Yours truly whooped and sat on his backside...

a hero!


I liked the new pic, nice view, keep showing us.

I always drop by here to see if you have posted new pictures

These are older pictures as you can see from the date but I was reminded of them during a conversation with someone. We were in the Badlands, driving through the park and came upon a herd of buffalo blocking the road and bringing traffic to a standstill for about 30 minutes. They are truly massive creatures, there was one a mere 3 to 4 feet from our car that was seriously at least as big as the car and I'm sure weighed more. The last picture was taken when he had moved a safe distance away. These pictures are scanned from the originals and on my computer, are kind of dark but it's been my experience that my monitor tends to do that so I'm hoping you'll be able to see things clearly.

It was! They certainly aren't as wide as a car, but there are many that are as tall and as long and it's a little unnerving to have only a small amount of metal and glass between them and you. Whenever you go to the badlands, you always hope to see some buffalo, it's one of the greatest thrills of going there but no one wants to be that close. That guy standing outside his car is crazy. As you can see, he was the only one who was so bold, everyone else stayed in the relative safety of their cars.

I'd rather not... You remember that old song, From a distance? That sounds like a good rule in that respect. I mean to say: Our vipers are one thing but he was handling more "potent" snakes, right?

The next one is in fact a number of pictures clobbered together to one. I was experimenting a bit with a new (to me) application called Autostitch:

[Pensive]

Amazing pile of photos we have got over here!

[Pendragon]

I finally found that shot of me as "Hobo Bo" approximately 1992, a most vintage year. Taken inside Merillat Industries, Atkins, VA Door Plant. That's a door railing/building station behind me.

Did you know that you can find both the Eiffel Tower and The Statue of Liberty in Paris?

Nice pictures all. Just a question for Claes on that movng picture in Paris. That looks incredibly dangerous. You even have cofee tables right under the latter with people sitting there. Are they crazy?

You captured that gorilla very nicely. There is a lot of feeling in that picture: Well done.

I agree: It probably was pretty dangerous. As you can see there was nothing to prevent people from walking under the ladder, and many did exactly that. Fortunately, all went well as far as I could see.
