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!

Dear Peter,
Almost like the old days!
These two instruments could hardly be more contrasted. The one taken today [two posts up] is a 60 year old Czech bass made of plywood, but actually very playable with some guts to the sound, which is not always the case, and then this beautifully made 1995 copy of a 1666 Maggini photographed in 2000. Best tonewood and gut strings, as opposed to the relatively unresonant laminated tonewood with much heavier steel strings.
Also note the violin corners on the big bass, compared to the plain "viol" corners on the Czech bass. The violin corners were introduced in 17th century Italy, and caught on in England, but not the German, and Austo-Hungarian speres of influence.

First time I have tried Photobucket instead of Imageshack so I hope this works..
First image is the deliberate use of lens flare in order to dramatize the intensity of the sun at our camp somewhere around 16,000ft or so......actually that's a load of bollocks as the flare was totally unintentional but it does seem to add something to this picture as the sun is relentless at that altitude. It wasn't the most comfortable of camps but I've slept in worse!
This one is of an old man who was resting after carting a load of firewood on his back for almost 12 miles as the part of India we were in had no roads and he had no option!
And this one of a girl in the village who seemed to do nothing except get into trouble constantly....I just love the colours in it...
Good trip and good memories....
Cheers
Jim

What a great pub, what a great little village! And the rockpooling is wonderful.
It certainly is
Sydney Harbour Bridge
Wow! Great picture Lontano. Wonderful sense of movement and speed
This is one I like of the Golden Gate. In the sunshine but head in the clouds and no indication of the swirling currents that rush beneath it. A remarkable achievement in it's time.
Kind regards,
Peter

Forgotten I'd got this photo of Newton (don't claim it's a great one!) looking over the bay towards Dustanburgh. (The aforementioned wonderful pub is just off to the right, in the cluster of Natty Trust fishermen's cottages.)
And a view further up the coast, looking north from Seahouses towards Bamburgh (Lindisfarne just on the horizon on the right).
Tuesday evening in Chiba.
Strolling through Brittany.
