Should we think about starting a new thread? This one is starting to get "heavy" and slow to load.

I am really enjoying the pictures! - an Admin. might have a suggestion about how to manage or set it up better.

"What were we thinking???"

It's a little dark, but if you look closely you can see the feet dangling from the riders on the front row of the Griffin, just as they pause at the top of the drop to contemplate their choice. Taken at Williamsburg, VA, during the first week that Griffin was operational. A truly breathtaking ride!!!

French Lick Creek Bridge, French Lick, Indiana

This bridge is a riveted steel Pratt through truss design built in 1904.

The train in the background is the French Lick Scenic Railway on its way from the Indiana Railway Museum in French Lick to Cuzco, where it will reverse course and return to French Lick.

My baby girl....She is growing up on me. This was taken in the Tower of Terror waiting area. She decided to wait with her chicken mom for the boys.

Should we think about starting a new thread? This one is starting to get "heavy" and slow to load. Love the photos, folks! Virginia, WOW! Where was that? Steve, you have a great eye for photography. Your lighthouse could be on a calendar. Chris, so could your beach shot. I looked through my photos and realized they're all crap compared to some of these.

Here's a workaround for that. Instead of left-clicking to open the thread, right click instead. Then from the pop-up menu that appears, select the option to open in a new tab. The thread will then load in the new tab, while you can continue working in the other tab. When the thread finishes loading, just switch to the new tab to view it.

I go to the New Posts link immediately when I come to the BBS (I actually have it bookmarked), then I just go down the page and right click on all of the links I'm interested in. After I'm done, I start reviewing them tab by tab, closing each tab when I'm done.

Final 640 ft of the Half Dome hike, Yosemite National Park, and no, I didn't do it! DH was up there.

I did that hike once, several years ago. I still remember a warning sign (near Vernal Falls, I think) that was very direct. It read: "Do not play in the water. If you go over the falls, you will die."

Steve,

Clever, very clever. And I'm starting to hate you because your pictures on Kauai of the same objects are much better than mine.

Just a little green with envy of your skill.

Oh Canada!

The picture of the cables on the rocks was taken where you ascend the last part of the way up Half Dome, in Yosemite Park. It was a 16 mile hike, took 14hours (left at 6 am, got off the mountain at 8 pm), with 4800 ft elevation gain. My DH couldn't walk very well for several days afterwards! You have to be in very good shape, start early, and bring lots of water and food.

I don't know, but perhaps someone who has been to SXM more than I would. It's certainly attractive and makes the photo. In fact a better photo would have been to take the picture after the ferry was gone. It's just that my daughter and SIL happened to be on the ferry.

 

[dmharris]

Steve,

Is SXM = St. Marteen? Where have you stayed on these islands? Timeshare or hotel?

 

[T_R_Oglodyte]

Steve,

Is SXM = St. Marteen? Where have you stayed on these islands? Timeshare or hotel?

Yes. SXM = Sint Maarten/Saint Martin. We stayed at the Flamingo last June, for my daughter's wedding. That was our only visit, so I'm not an island expert. There are some TUGgers who visit SXM regularly, including at least one who spends at least two weeks on SXM annually.

El Malecón de Puerto Vallarta

We were walking on the Malecón the week after Easter - still the MX Holy Weeks - just as a couple of guys were finishing this sand sculpture.

Hope this works:

Even the restroom signs are pretty in Hawaii

Steve (T_R_Oglodyte), did you paint that picture of the Marigot Public Market? I loved the colors!

The sand sculpture is amazing.
