My thoughts exactly.

Very nice pictures...actually the one iceberg is now my background. That penguin looked like he was getting to know your leg pretty good though haha.

7th Continent for my wife. It was an epic trip, best vacation I've ever taken. Truly a place of the most stark beauty I've ever seen!

That penguin was actually getting to know my wifes leg in that picture!

I didn't take this one, which I know goes against the idea of this thread...But wow...

This is from the (so far) highest point of the world's tallest building. Unbelievable shot.

Thought I'd share some pics from a photography weekend I did last fall. I've always been interested in photography, I have aspirations to be a professional photographer, but too busy being a mom right now to worry about that SOMEDAY!! lol

Rhetts, Bigtime and Flamesmom - those are really good photos. I'm glad this thread has picked up some speed again. It's one of my favorites.

HotHotHot - that photo reminds me of one that Joe McNally did from on top of the empire state building while they were changing the light bulb in the tv antenna.

I quess I could waste some space here and post these. Nothing great, just practising how to use my camera. Sorry 'bout the size but these are already less than half the size these were.

One Winter photo:


And then Spring in Lahti:

Haapana, Isokoskelo, Naurulokki, Naakka, Sinivuokko and Orvokki. Didi I get it right?
First I thought that spring in Canada look a lot like spring in Finland but the thruth was different. Great pics though, you can sense the nature staring to wake up.

Thanks Kipru
You made only one mistake: no kind of wild violets are blooming yet. The pinkish ones are actually one version of sinivuokko, Hepatica nobilis (what ever it is in English). The colour is belived to be result of pH of the ground they grow in.

Forgot to say this in earlier post, so I say it now: Awesome pics, everyone

This isn't anywhere as cool as the other pictures, but I kinda like how it turned out so here it is. It came out a lil dark, but I'm too tired to do anything about it.
