[Swede]

6. I bookmarked your post.

One of your pictures is now my background.

8. These aren't my pictures, but thanks

[FloridaJudy]

3. Another view of Everest

[begin_within]

21. Thanks

I think the view looking at it is better than the view looking down from the summit, at least going by pictures I have seen.

[truedelphi]

68. Shouldn't there be year round snow at all these mountain tops??

I sort of flinched when seeing so little snow cover on some of these.

[ironflange]

27. Nyeh, Everest is for sissies. Here's the big bad mountain:

31. Pretty intimidating. How about Ama Dablam...

5. Gloucester MA

[begin_within]

7. It looks so peaceful - I always thought that was a "bustling fishing port"

[graywarrior]

14. This is at the end of a private marina/dockominium off route 128.

12. Here are a few by a local artist: John Moran

Who manages to find the parts of Florida not yet ruined

[begin_within]

15. Those are gorgeous.

[FloridaJudy]

18. Those were all taken locally

Florida is still beautiful if you avoid the over-developed areas. Here's a recent photo by Moran I forgot to post: Fireflies on the Ichetucknee

[begin_within]

19. They almost look like paintings

[hippywife]

13. Beautiful choices, all!

Thanx for posting those. It's easy to forget sometimes what a wondrous place the world really is!

16. From National Geographic

Quebec, Canada, 1978
Photograph by Bruce Dale
In a dramatic freefall, the 275-foot (84-meter) Montmorency Falls plunges into the St. Lawrence River in Quebec, Canada. In winter, frozen spray from the falls accumulates into an enormous icy mound known as the Sugarloaf, popular with sledders and climbers.

17. I think National Geographic is the best magazine in the world.

Every month they come out with beautiful, spectacular, jaw-dropping photos. Just when you think you've seen it all, you turn a page and see the world in a whole new way. Thanks for posting that spectacular photo.

[hippywife]

20. Me, too!

This month was no exception, either!

[bikebloke]

22. Nepal

We climbed to the top of a ridge during our trek, to see this. Into the valley we descended.

29. Shangri-La

Lucky bloke!

23. Lowell MA

Taken earlier today:

28. There was an article in the LA Times a couple of days ago about it

Specifically related to Jack Kerouac and the Kerouac-related spots around town (his own park, museum, gravesite, etc.)

[FloridaJudy]

30. Is that Skowhegan?

It's a beautiful area around there.

[XemaSab]

24. I want to go there!

:o

[XemaSab]

25. Here:

32. Is it Canyonlands?

33. Napes.

Arches. :D

26. The Missouri River, by Pierre, South Dakota

July 2004. Ongoing drought.

That structure on the horizon, just left of center and right of the bushy tree, is the boat ramp. You can see how far down below the end of the ramp the water is.

The people in the photo are my pregnant ex, and her brother. They are on what would normally be a sandbar.

[begin_within]

34. Looks peaceful. I was at the Missouri River near Omaha in Sept. 2003

I visited the Fontenelle Forest just south of Omaha and walked down to the river.

[krispos42]

36. It was... the river was virtually unnavigatable

The TV couidn't stop warning people about the low water levels and all the people stuck on sandbars!

This was July 4th weekend. We just wanted someplace beach-y, and she was too preggers to drive all the way to the Black Hills like we usually did.

[MrScorpio]

35. Love that picture of the Scottish rock formations

I want to see that for real someday

40. It's the "Giant's Causeway" in Northern Ireland

[buzzard]

37. my daughter's trip to Galapagos

38. Harp Creek, Newton County, Arkansas

It may be a tad more modest, but nonetheless, beautiful!

[begin_within]

41. nice picture!

[RushIsRot]

45. Thank you, Bob. I live in an area where one can just drop a

camera and come away with a gorgeous photo.

39. Sunrise in East Tennessee

Taken a couple years ago off the front porch. I call it Fire in the Sky

[begin_within]

42. Very pretty

[GenDem]

43. The Burren in Ireland

I find this area on the west coast of Ireland fascinating and wondrous.

49. My Mom and I are thinking of going there

although she's 88 and uses a wheelchair part of the time, it might be a struggle to get her around. But she's almost 100% Irish and she's never been to Ireland yet.

[GenDem]

64. You should do it!

I went with my mother, aunt, and cousin.

We are talking of making another trip.

[seemunkee]

44. a few

From Mt Ranier


The Eiger


Confidence Hills, Death Valley

[begin_within]

50. Cool - thanks

Have you seen that video of the guy who hang-glides down the face of the Eiger?

[seemunkee]

63. Yes, pretty amazing

There is an iMax movie coming out about climbing the Eiger. Can't wait for it to hit the DC area.

BTW where was the picture below the Great Wall taken? It reminds me of the Temple of the Sun and Moon in Capital Reef NP

[DS1]

46. Here's my favorite little bar in a liberal oasis in a liberal state

and yes I have access to the product/bar/food/staff photos
too bad they were taken by a rank fucking amateur who used a direct flash on everything and didn't even try compose a shot :grr:

[begin_within]

52. Perfect for a DU gathering.

What are some of the food items served?

[DS1]

55. nice, but too small for a DU gathering

they specialize in fresh seafood, the chef buys it right off the boat in Gloucester. Sounds cliche, but it's very true.


Local beef tenderloins


Lobster Fettuccine


Scallops and red pepper sauce

[begin_within]

59. Elegant

[DS1]

47. This is Mittenwald, Germany. My father took these photos

unlike me, he actually goes places when he's on vacation

[begin_within]

53. Dramatic. I wonder what it's like to live

in those mountains. I bet you learn to ski at the age of 2.

[DS1]

48. This is DUer Squeech in other DUer matcom's back yard with his favorite cheesy guitar

[begin_within]

56. cool picture - thanks

[DS1]

51. Amsterdam, again my father's photos

I really need to get out and see the world.

[begin_within]

57. He takes great photos.

[DS1]

60. and hands me down some great equipment

:thumbsup:

[GirlinContempt]

54. Parati, Brasil

My own and some others




Igreja de Santa Rita

[begin_within]

58. Interesting town! The church is photogenic

[GirlinContempt]

61. Very interesting.

A lot of the stone streets are rocks from the Portuguese's ships that they used as ballasts during the Gold Run.
Most of the town hasn't seemed to change in hundreds of years.

[begin_within]

62. I love places that are "real" and not turned into commercial tourist traps

[GirlinContempt]

65. Me too

South America is great for that

[autorank]

66. Thank you so much! Truly

[KatyMan]

67. England and Capri

Here's a view of the village of Aylesford in Kent (this is more or less the view from our bedroom and kitchen windows). The river is the Medway, and it's a tidal river, and as you can see I took this at low tide:



And two views from the Isle of Capri. We spent a great long weekend there. Loved it!
