It was also one of the most amazing experiences walking through Florence, I walked beside a museum but it had statues of so many famous Italians, Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Dante.

    Oh, and I met a girl in Florence maybe thats it .

    Another frog, just as poisonous as the first one.

    Wow Tend they are lovely! I also loved florence more. It was such a beautiful city. I take it you walked around the roof of the Duomo? I did that with my friend, held onto her the whole time. Even had a couple of really nice American guys help me around a narrow bit. Fear of Heights.


    Janine, Flint was one of the stones that is used to make a fire. It was also used for may other purposes;
    Hunting, cooking, making clothes, building and shaving.
    very versitile rock, but also very sharp.

    Oh that will do it. Florence does feel like the whole city is a museum. Actually so does Venice.


    Nice photos Steph. I like your back yard.

    Beautiful photos, Tend!
    Those poisonous frogs were beautiful, as were the other photos you posted, Claes. Thanks!
    Steph, your cat is so huggable, what a beautiful face! Your backyard shot is cool, too, love the choice in colours that you used. I don't have the patience to make a gingerbread house, but yours was awesome -- makes me hungry!

    Claes, I love the frog pictures.

    TEND, that's a wonderful shot of those mountains. Do you remember the names of the peaks in that area?

    cracking muse, I think that flower is very beautiful.

    stephofthenight, great gingerbread house!

    It is very sharp. Flint was used mainly to fabricate tools, which is what i was trying when I produced that sliver. If you want start a fire, you need to strike the flint with something containing iron, such as pyrite or marcasite. That will make the sparks fly...

    Thank you... I have to tell you though, that I often discard heaps of pictures before I get something I want to keep.

    More pictures, perhaps? Here we go:


    How about an emerald Boa?


    ...or maybe a Black Mamba?


    Not poisonous...

    Yes, cute monkey, Steph!

    And Claes, you should work for National Geographic, your photos are well thought out and very colorful/beautiful. Thanks again for letting us see them!

    Look at all the critters!!!

    And what a beautiful picture of Stockholm. I love that.

    I went to the pier today, so here are some pictures I took:

    I live here.


    Restaurants on the pier.


    Hotel.


    Walkway.


    Have you ever been at sea? No place that I'd rather be.


    The reason why I posted a really stupid picture of the hotel was because if you've seen "Little Miss Sunshine". it should look familiar to you. No, it's not a Redondo Suites. I don't live in Redondo. I guess they could'nt afford Redondo, so they chose us cuz we're awesome. The walkway is where they drove around in the van when they were hopelessly lost. And then that freeway...yep. I live there. And the pier is where Dwayne and the...uncle? Was he an uncle? I don't remember. Anyways, that's where they talked. I love it down there.
