Pip Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 I love this new section so much ! Even as a small child I would love getting the family photo albums out and would spend hours looking at the snaps. Now I can have happy times looking at all of yours ! It has even inspired me to take my camera with me. I hope I will improve but here's one I took this afternoon at a touristy place.

Suze01 Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 It's not a particularly good quality photo...View of La Linea from the top of Gibraltar Rock looking east with Gib runway in the foreground! Not very nice weather, I was really cold all week during a february visit to my parents whose house is somewhere in the distance.[IMG]http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g127/Lisleoise/Other/ArchivedPhotos639.jpg[/IMG] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pip Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 That's a very pretty photo Pip. By ChristineThanks Christine. The place is called Cockington and holds lovely memories for me. I used to take my old Border Collie, Jess, for walks through the estate when she was alive.Suze, that's an amazing view. Intrigued to know what all those little white blobs are in the left hand foreground ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayJay Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 This was taken in tiny village that was perched somewhere in the Spanish Pyrenees. It was beautiful & had views to die for & believe you me, we nearly did![IMG]http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c377/DoreenJames/IntheSpanishPyranees.jpg[/IMG] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote]It is/feels (don't know how high) very high on top of Gib Rock with a very scary drive up in a minibus with sheer drops with only foot high chain fences on the edge of a very narrow road [img]http://bestsmileys.com/scared/5.gif[/img]The white blobs are gravestones in the cemetary - nice location to rest in peace at (not) right next to the runway!

Pip Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Jay Jay and Suze, they both look beautiful spots. Why are these gems always tucked away, high up ?? On my first trip to the Pyrenees this year I was overawed by the beauty of the mountains but scared to death of the hairpin bends. [+o(] It wouldn't stop me from doing it again though, it was worth it !! [:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayJay Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 It was stunning Pip & like you, I was scared to death of the bends, trouble is I was the driver! A white knuckle one, my heart has never beat so fast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonzjob Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 The slate top for one of our coffee tables that I made came from just behind there, Delabole Slate Quarry. That was about 1970. Changed a bit since then!Tha castle is a lovely place to see!! Nice shot.P.S. DTs never did suite you?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suze01 Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 We seem to be on a theme of heights and sheer drops/cliffs - the last time I went to Tintagel Castle I had a nasty dose of vertigo and had to turn back! Nice photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pip Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Oh, Pads ! What wonderful memories your photo brought. I walked that coastal path from Tintagel to Trebarthwith more than once a year during the 70's - in all weathers !! Reminded me I must go back to visit now I live nearer [:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
