Thread: Pictures Taken By you...

  1. #2521
    Oh, some great photos there. The Lake District is the most beautiful place in the UK surely, perhaps only Cornwall can come close to it? (I've never seen Wordsworth's grave, but I wonder why it is marked as 1883? Must be the date of the stone as Wordsworth died in 1850 of course.) Great pictures though; would be more than happy to sit there doing nothing for a week, given half the chance I'd jump at it a mile - all of this work business is highly wrong you know, I'm serious.

    I also love the shots of Budapest; it looks highly romantic, perhaps Mrs Neely could take me there as a treat? Yeah, right!

    Those soldier people reminds me of a thing we go to every year where there are several groups of people from different ages all in costume and doing mock battles and so on - they all seem very dedicated individuals. It is fascinating to see Roman soldiers, medieval knights and German soldiers walking around together as the odd tank rolls by in the distance - me, I'm usually in the beer tent!

    Wow! Some really fantastic photos!

    I got back from Canada on Friday. Had my first thanksgiving dinner with Kilted Exiles family and got to see how wonderful canada is in Autumn.

    Nice pictures both of you - Niamh and Snowqueen.

    Niamh, that last silohuette is awesome! That green/red of the warning light makes the photo so interesting.

    There have been a lot of interesting pictures here since I last posted. As we have had some unusually good weather I decided to take a day's walking in the country. Here are some photos taken along the way:






    Path near Thornycroft Manor





    In the pen.







    The Road to West Humble







    Ruined Chapel







    A bridleway.







    Leslie Road in the village of Pixham.







    Where I would live if I could afford to.







    Schoolhouse at Pixham.







    Rural Scene at the Surrey Hills







    Fishing in the river Mole.







    A much needed seat at the top of Box Hill.







    The view from the top.







    Box Hill village.







    View through a gate.







    The Broadwood folly - Box Hill.







    View of Juniper Hall.







    Mickleham Village.







    Mickleham church.







    A very welcome sight.






    Home again.

    @Brian Bean: Great pictures. I absolutely love the first one!

    Some (Or rather, most) of the pictures I took in Dublin:






    (Christchurch Cathedral)


    (Guinness Storehouse)

    A recent picture...

    Here is a recent picture I took when my roommate threw a log in the lake so I could take cool splash photos...

    These are very professional pictures but you haven't said where they were taken.

    Thanks for the information. Interesting that you have a Nikon D5000 because my pictures were taken with a Nikon D3000 but they were on automatic because I haven't got around to sorting out the manual capabilities of the camera yet.

    You ever seen one of these things? They are amazing!

    No joke, this guy was posing for the camera.
