Trying something new

I discovered this feature with my .Mac account. I experimented with my windows friends and they said it worked for them. So, here is the url and some of the pics have already posted, but there is a slideshow button on bottom left hand corner. I like it a lot. Will change the photos soon if you folks are able to see the pics.

Bear Tooth Pass---look down and see the road below!

This one is real white knuckle driving according to DH.

This one is real white knuckle driving according to DH.

Beartooth Highway (US 212 between Red Lodge and Yellowstone) is probably one of the top 10 Scenic drives in 48 States. IMHO, the descent to Red Lodge is the most spectacular part of the drive.

... Bear Tooth...

Cindi, I love the picture.
On Trip West, we went through Cody on the way to Yellowstone and Grand Teton. Thought that was lovely.

Only learned of this spectacular drive after retuning to Virginia. We could have done both and will definatly do Bear Tooth on our way next trip.

Hi Geo,

Nice to have you back. I took a look at your photos in your album and they're great. What type of lens did you use? Fixed or removable? I especially love the one you posted here. I wonder what the gorilla was thinkiing? Are they in a nice environment? I haven't been to this animal park in years and don't remember seeing gorillas.

Best,

One of the many "Doors of Dublin"

There are hundreds of these doors to town homes and it is said that no two are exactly alike. I took lots of photos of them and couldn't decide which one to post. Hope you like yellow (I thought it was a bit different). Most of these town homes are now businesses. Shame. The windows on the first floor are the tallest and the top floor (usually fourth) are the shortest, giving the impression that the building is taller than it really is. Intentionally.

Hi Diane,
Thanks for the compliment. I used a Nikon D200 with the Nikkor 70 - 200 telephoto lens. It is removeable but since DW uses the D70 with wide angle we do not need to interchange lens. I think the animals are in as good an environment as one could get for captivity purposes.

Question - Did you see a difference in the size of pictures when using the slide show option versus clicking on thumbprint?

 

[dmharris]

Geo,

Yes, they're larger and (this was cool) in the thumbnails there was a slider so I could make the thumbnails larger or smaller.

Great Blues in the ocean and sky pic. Very interesting perspective of Seattle Skyline. Don't think I have seen that one.

We were walking down along the waterfront and I thought the space needle between the two buildings was an interesting shot.

Sunset on Howe Sound

As we pulled into Horseshoe Bay yesterday ...

OH WOW Steve!!!! That one is gorgeous!!!!

Not a very good quality picture. My camera was on the wrong setting but here is a view from the local boarding school. I think it would make school not quite so bad waking up to this every day. At least for me.

I haven't been on in a while - went back to school to finish my degree and just finished basketball season (I coach middle school girls' team) - so no time for anything. Just finishing up a week's vacation here in sunny South Florida. I have read 2 books, swam, went biking, kayaking, and finally got to spend some time on one of my favorite websites, TUG.

Enjoyed catching up on the great pictures. Wanted to add a few of my favorites.
