Nice Photos.

Most of us have taken one or two nice photos.
Here is my candidate as being almost quite good. In fact it is two painstakingly joined.
Taken up in the mountain at Skurdalsvatn in 2000.
Though this one takien in Warsaw in November 2006 is not bad:
I know there are several good photgraphers here, and it would be nice to see some of you best efforts if you feel inclined to share!

My pleasure; a quite lovely view!
Here's one taken in the castle.

You are so artistic it makes me sick!
Okay, next time we meet we can listen to some best Bach performances just to show I still can choose something worthwhile!

on my trip to Sydney and touring the operahouse I took lots of pics, I put the camera to the window I think and the camera malfunctioned, or at least I did and got this.
I use it as my desktop pic now.

This is my favorite of the opera house, wish I'd gotten it without people in it but they do show scale. Love the color and geometry.

Here is one I took back in September 2002, with the lovely Canonette in the Mountains of Norway.
This is very late in the evening, and the corner of the building is my cousins' hytter or as we might call it, cabin.
The lake is Skurdalen near Geilo, and is the most beautiful place I have yet been to on the Earth.
This is an experiment as I have now bought - for 3 GBP at a car boot sale - an HP "Scanjet 2100C" scanner, which seems top work nicely!
So no more collects from now on!

It would be hard to imagine a situation where anyone would be allowed this close to a ship in the middle of great harbour, unsupervised by the Police, nowadays ...
This is my my brother and I in 1973 standing next to Fred Olsen's ship Breamar, registered in Oslo. Next day we would embark on the ship bound for Newcastle, and it would be the last time that I would be in Norway till 1986.
This photo was certainly taken by the same Canonette as my photo in the previous post, as the picture was taken by my grandmother, who eventually left me the choice of her three cameras. I should have probably chosen the completely manual Lieca, but I would never have got a decent photo with it, and the Canonette was the camera my grandmother always had in her bag, ready for the right moment!

PS: The Eagle-eyed among you may spot the Fram Museum across the bay on Bygdoy. It is the large roofed area that is visisble somewhat to the left of the stern of the Breamar.

This from about 2000 or 2001.
Sunrise and Frost at Aymestrey School.
The house was called Crown East Court until the school moved there at the close of the Great War.
The great Oak tree that is central in the picture is actually a Turkey Oak, planted at the time the house was built [onto older foundations] in the ealy 1860s.

Not a nice photo as such but a nice view nonetheless...
Clever Trevor:-
I got a new lens delivered a couple of hours ago. I'm now looking for anything small. Seems good.
Not such a nice photo but not so bad either:
I have no idea what specie this might be, so any instructive answers would be welcome.
It was photoed on my kitchen wall last weekend.

Like count d. I recently got my grubby little paws an a Macro lens - it's a Tamron 90mm 2.8.
Here's one of my efforts; it's a Gertrude Jekyl rose. An unfeasibly prickly one...

Dear Stu,
1970 was my very own Annus Horribilis.
Since then things could and have only got better!
Life is a bitch and then you die, or Life is a gift and get on and live it!
You only pass this way once, and the sooner anyone works that out the better.
In 1970 as an eight and a half year old holidaying in Norway with my grandparents [in March/April] I was not equipped to realise this, but it gave me tremendous strength to realise the potential for things to get better!
Not in linear fashion in my experience, but things get better, and then worse and then better again!
But it teaches you never to give up and become bitter and sad ...
This shows me as happy in innocence ...
and this as happy with the sadness of experience ... with dearly beloved sis in law:
Forty-five plus year separate the two ... nigh blind in both!
