Travel pictures

Having seen Jon Honeyball's Singapore thread last week, I thought it might be of value to have a general thread like this, showing where we members get to throughout the world. So please join in

Sounds a bit sniffy IMO.
People do "pretty stuff" ie picture postcards as a reminder of where they have been in as accurate way as possible, they don't need to be works of art, just a good representation of where they have been.
You sounded a bit condescending about them.
West coast of Tasmania.
Antarctic Peninsula
Provence
Morocco
West Coast Trail, BC, Canada
Mount Fitzroy. Patagonia.

Easy up Howard....Wasn't being condescending at all, far from it...Was merely asking Peter what sort of pics this thread was going to be - if you knew me, you would know the pictures I take are of people, events and news...not sunsets - so was just judging if I should contribute.....
As my partner is an art and portrait photographer for Time Asia, I would find it hard to be 'sniffy' about pictures of simple, yet strong, aesthetic....Postcard or not.
Anyway, in the spirit of the thread, and as I know Peter loves Asia, here is a very rare colour image from me:
Laos, 2002
And here's a little medley of 'softer' BWs from various travels:
China, Cambodia, Indonesia, Cambodia
China, Cambodia, Indonesia, Cambodia

Very nice indeed. I love the shot of the kid in the hammock.
SC Ok interpretation failure.
No problem at all....
(the only reason I replied was because I've always made it a point, for various reasons, to never go near any photography threads here (or anywhere else on the net) and the first time I do, I get told off..!)
Anyway, back to images....

Thanks Winky.
I really like your Antarctic/trawler picture...
Are your pano's crops or Xpan/similar..?
Steve.
Thanks Steve. They're crops. The boat in the Antarctica picture is the boat we went down on, the Polar Pioneer.
Not 'went down' as in went down..?! 
Not so much, fortunately. I meant "went down" as in "went South". There was a liner in port in Ushuaia that had hit an iceberg, though. And a cruise ship did actually go down a few years ago.quote:Originally posted by SC:

Sydney last year about this time, great trip doing the Opera house tour and when I got home this was in that section I didn't plan it but it's a wonderful mistake. It is now my computer screen.
