    Another gorgeous shot, Blue!

    The only national park I've ever been to is Joshua Tree...but I think I'd rather go to the one you're shooting photos of!

    Virgil- I prefer to take the ferry rather than the bridge because you have to pay a toll either way. And driving/parking there is crazy...well maybe not for you being from New York and all lol but I would never try it.
    Also on the ferry you pass right next to San Quentin and near Alcatraz and I believe Angel Island. If it is not overcast or foggy you can see the bridges quite well
    Please do post a pic of the bridge I'd like to see

    Thanks for the compliments!

    Stargazer86, don't put down JT! It's one of my favorite national parks, and a regular stop during the winter months when the weather is bad everywhere else. The first time I visited, it had just become a national park. I remember that camping back then was free, so my friend and I would drive in and leave at night, so we didn't have to pay any fees at all.

    Niamh, I love your black and whit photo; very dramatic. bluevictim, I love your color photo of Kings Canyon National Park. I like them both, but the first one is my favorite. And good pictures of San Fran, Stargazer.

    Janine, your lovely granddaughter is adorable. I love how she is rockin' and rollin' with the music!!!

    Thanks. That does sound like a great ferry ride. I'll have to stop and take some pictures of the bridge. If I can remember I'll do it this weekend.

    Some more pics of the city. Every evening prayer is performed along the river bank; it is one of the best prayers I have seen till date. The devotional songs, music, sound of the coonch shells; it was awsome!


    There were total seven people, I couldn't take all in one frame. Here they are blowing the coonch shells.



    Charms strike the sight, but merit wins the soul.

    Ok, In have been idle for too long. Time to get back to this thread, with some pictures from the Swedish west coast:

    View towards the sea.

    Crabs waiting to be cooked.

    A gull, snapped from about 1m. It kept a weary eye out but stayed calm.

    Smögen.

    One of several harbours scattered around Smögen.

    Interesting colour scheme for a boat. Valön.

    Berries.

    Cattle, enjoying a day at the beach just as much as humans.

    Catching a tan?

    Boats everywhere...

    Niamh,
    Loved all your photos, but the one picture of the two boats at sunset is really spectacular.

    Claes,
    Loved your photos, too, especially the close ups of the cattle and berries.

    Claes, I have NEVER seen a crab like the ones you posted. Look at those tiny little legs! I've also never seen cows on a beach.

    Great pictures all.

    Claes those cows look very well fed. I bet they're tastey.

    Claes, Cows on the beach; how interesting! What is in the ear of that one lone cow - does he have a hearing aid? haha....

    I love the little harbour town with the red buildings.

    Cool photo of the seagull. He was probably hoping for a handout.

    Love those luscious red berries - always love your closeup shots! That red polka dot boat is a scream. I really like it...makes for a very interesting photo....

    Niamh, beautiful set of photos. I love all of your photos so much. Lynne is right. I also love the sunsets.

    Yes, definitely well fed: They spend the entire summer eating fresh grass by the seaside.

    Just an ID tag. They all have them.

    Good bet. They always do, and if they don't get one they try to grab something anyway. Besides, we watched one gobbling a dropped ice cream up last week... Including the wooden pin! It actually swallowed a 10cm wooden pin!

    I'll post some more then

    They do look look smaller than they actually are. Probably folded up somehow.
