    Did Someone Say "Scenic"?

    Taking my inspiration for not just the title from Star's thread, I hereby want to share some of the pictures I took during my English adventure. Which as you will all know, is still developing.

    Like I said in Starīs thread, I donīt get to do a lot of day tripping. But I am blessed with residing in a place 100 meters from the shore. Which enables me to see a sunset every single day. And every single sunset is different and beautiful in itīs own way.I hope my pictures do justice to the real thing, but they will at least give you an idea.

    I do like taking pictures, and might open a thread with some of my pictures shortly. These photos form a subcategory which I thought would suit in the travel section of the forum.

    Hope you like them!

    Thank you all for your kind words. If you have a favourite, please let me know (they are numbered 1 to 9), it is nice to know what I like, but is even better to know what the pulic likes best

    KneD, Those photos are incredible. I can't figure out how to put some India photos in here because of my computer idiocy.

    Wow, I missed these - went by while I was on vacation, I guess. My favorites are 8,7, and 5 (strange colors! Looks like a huge puff of cotton candy). Oh, and 6 is so wonderfully yin/yang, and 3 is classic...

    Dalai Lama

    “Nothing is so beautiful as Spring-
    When weeds, in wheels, shoot long and lovely and lush;
    Thrush's eggs look little low heavens, and thrush
    Through the echoing timber does so rinse and wring
    The ear, it strikes like lightnings to hear him sing;"

    Gerard Manley Hopkins

    2, 3, 6, 8, 9 are my faves, but they are all superb!



    A dreamer is one who can only find
    his way by moonlight, and his
    punishment is that he sees the dawn
    before the rest of the world.
