    Beautiful pictures, Niamh!
    I sang of leaves, of leaves of gold, and leaves of gold there grew.

    I can see those acacias needles distorting the wood of the tree.

    Thats a wonderful picture claes.

    Did you not find that a bit intimidating? wouldnt want to be that close to him in the wild!

    Niamh - Nice pictures of Edinburgh. You brought back memories of my trip there.

    Claes - Oh my God!!! You actually got pictures of lions!! Wow. How far away were you from them?

    Amazing. I haven't been on much here lately and i have neglected to visit this thread in quite a bit. I had to go back about eight pages to view all the great pictures.

    Claes, I have no idea what your current career is, but if you told me professional photographer, I would not be surprised. Beautiful pictures. I love the lions.

    Niamh and Cookie, you both took great pics of your trips, very nice. Cookie, you look so cute! Niamh, you must be photogenic, you're Irish. I cannot believe otherwise.

    Virgil, wow. Martha's Vineyard is beautiful in it's off season. You captured a real feeling of tranquility. Sadly, it is not the same place in the summer, lots of people around.

    Great pics of the Eiffel tower too, although I wasn't sure who took those. Thank you everybody for posting such wonderful pictures.

    Thank you. Strictly amateur, unfortunately. It would be nice to get payed for something I love doing, but alas... Anyway, I think I'll stick to Quality Engineering.

    In this case about 20m/60', but there is more to come: On one occasion we had no less than 14 (!) cats all around the car.[QUOTE=Niamh;353065]

    Intimidated? Yes, a wee bit, but we had an understanding: We stayed in the car, and they stayed out of it. I'll have to say one thing, though: As you will be able to see in later pictures, these wild lions have a glint in their eyes that you will not see in a zoo. The difference is huge. They look at you and you can see what they are thinking: "-Fine, you can hide in that thing, but if you even think about venturing outside, I'll take you apart..."

    Kathy, I took those in August, the height of the crowded season. I just got up really early when no one was out yet. Best time to take pictures is in really early morning. Should I add, IMO?

    You have a point, but I would like to expand a bit on that: Dawn and twilight will often bring forth amazing colours. Incidentally, the same thing can be said for rainy weather, when few people (for obvious reasons) bother to use their cameras.

    I should also add that I am very fond of night shots...

    You know, I double-checked, actually . It was a kilt, but not a very decent one, it looked worn and not of the original excellent Scottish quality

    I always paint at dawn .

    Beautiful pictures of Edinburgh, Niamh!!!
    Nice that you're planning to take more photos of Dublin! I'd like a shot of Christ Church, if you please . And do ask your boy-friend to take on with you on it, too, you're such a fairy .

    Concerning James Joyce's places: I noticed that there are golden (or copper) plates built into the pavement at places relating to Ulysses. They're approximately 30 x 30 cm (1 ft x 1 ft), and have the respective quotation from the book on them. I saw many of them, but I only recall there's one on O'Connell Bridge for sure (I stood right next to it on the picture), maybe you could take a pic of one of these for Virgil, Niamh? It might be easier to relate the scenary and the book, then .
