    I meant semi-automatic. I'm not exactly an expert on these things. I don't have one, but I was able to try one once. At a shooting range, of course.

    I am soooooo tired.

    Who needs braces anyway?

    These are great pictures claes... What a psychdelic Frog!!!

    Well, i've noticed that there are no pictures of Northern Spain, so just to give you some travelling ideas, here are a few pictures from around here...


    Bay of Santander


    Monastery of San Juan de Gastelugatxe (On the coast around Bilbao)


    Noja (small town on the coast about an hour from Bilbao).


    Picos de Europa, near Santander

    These are a few landscapes. I'll try posting cities sometime soon and food, which I'm sure will help to convince you!!

    Great pictures, but tell me more: Where is that, more exactly? Around San Sebastian (been there) perhaps?

    Thanks Claes.

    And yes you are correct it is near San Sebastian. By Northern Spain I meant Bilbao and surroundings. (Basque country, Santander etc.)

    I've added the exxact places blow the picture.

    Those were some amazing photos Claes! I loved the little blue frog! Are they slightly poisonous by any chance? Think some species of frogs are, just can't remember which...

    And lugdunum, you've made me wish I'd spent my holidays in the Basque country!!

    Slightly poisonous? No not at all. More like absolutely lethal.... It is a Poison dart frog from South America, and the first time you touch it without gloves will almost certainly be the last.

    In the wild they can be lethal, but most species will just make you sick. The frogs don't produce their own poison, though, it comes from the food they eat in their natural habitat. They are completely harmless if they are raised in captivity, as I assume this one was.
