    Great pictures, cipherdecoy, Shurtugal, sofia82, Nightshade, bluevictim, subterranean, Argus (love horses!), Claes, Kafka -- I'd love to see Stonehenge, you are lucky!

    We sure have some great photographers here!

    Cool photos Kafka, you're lucky to live close enough to Cornwall to be able to get there in a day and back.

    Taken last night. How I love the sky.

    I love the lions too Kafka. Thanks.

    Oh Fifth, that is a stunning photo. That's a contest winner, if you can find a contest to enter it in.

    Lightbulb

    Another batch, also from Karphatos:

    Olympos.

    Olympos again. Pretty steep, eh?

    A mountain overlooking Pigadia.

    Another representant of the rather large cat population.

    Bee movie...

    Bouganvillea.

    I found a large tree full of these, but what are they called?

    Well... A tree.

    Pigeon.

    A very stylish cat.

    This is my favorite picture from Korea. A friend has since told me that this sign has been taken down. Its replacement? "Hunt Kids!"
    Don't worry, it's a childrens' clothing store, not an infanticide warehouse. Gotta love those mistranlations



    And this one is a late Happy Birthday to the U.S. I took this picture a few months ago at Fort Benning, GA.

    They look like frangipanis. We have some frangipani trees in our garden:





    And some black and white photos from a beach further up the coast here:

They are lovely though noisy which has changed the English suburban soundscape thoroughly, specially in the suburbs of London.

    People think it is crazy but I do sometimes jump in my car and drive as far as Cornwall just to look at the sea! I go to Stonehenge quite often on Sunday evenings, just a 'little' 140 odd miles round-trip!

    How interesting?! But where did they come from? Birds from other lands just start living in another place, so intresting and more interesting is that they become larger in number, I love them so cute and so beautiful.

    I don't think it is crazy, If I had a car, I would have done the same. About half an hour or a little more we have a lake (I think the second saltiest lake of the world) I like to be there but don't have any car for myself .
    I wish I become rich enough to travel around the world and see these wonders, one is your Stonehenge (of course, I should see all of the wonders in my own country ).

    Great idea, and what a good lion which did what you asked her
    Great animal and great photo!

    What are they doing outside of the cage or the zoo?! Do they live like this in freedom?
