AndyID Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Just up the road a bit in Glacier National Park, Montana. This is Lake McDonald. Sadly, the glaciers are not what they used to be. 18 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pH Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 When was that picture taken, Andy? Our son and daughter-in-law were in Glacier National Park a couple of weeks ago, and were actually having to wear bandanas across their mouths and noses because of the heavy smoke in the air.

Our son and daughter-in-law were in Glacier National Park a couple of weeks ago, and were actually having to wear bandanas across their mouths and noses because of the heavy smoke in the air. Some time ago! The shot was actually taken using some sort of photo-sensitive chemical contraption during the last century. I still have the boat, but it doesn't look quite so spiffy now. If you zoom the license tag enough it might be possible to see the year. Probably 99 or 00. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
autocoach Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 (edited) I was looking for pic I could add. In June I had just bought new Honda HRV/Vezel and driven out to Treasure Island with my son who snapped this. Actually live about 20 miles east over the Oakland Hills in the Shadow of Mount Diablo (3800+ feet). That was the SF fog coming in to cool the city in the background.

When we had a couple of days in SF the bay was permanently in fog. Although the rest of the city was bathed in sunshine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

N15class Posted November 22, 2015 Author Share Posted November 22, 2015 After seeing some lovely seascapes on Living in GB. I thought I would post one from here, its a couple of hours away as they say here (by plane). It is Porto de Galinhas near Recife in Pernambuco. Which happens to be the state where they lost one of the Lynton & Barnstable's loco's. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaP4 Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 (edited) A bit of a look around near me then: To the east: PB15 No.448 at Bundamba Racecourse on the Queensland Pioneer Steam Railway. To the south: C17 No.974 and Diesel Electric 1620 on the mainline at Booval, both are part of Queensland Railways' heritage fleet. To the south-west: C17 No.971 at Warwick on the Southern Downs Steam Railway. To the west: C17 No.720 battling the grade to Kunkala at the Rosewood Railway Museum. To the north-west: AC16 No.221A departing the Workshops Railway Museum, where the QR heritage fleet is stored and maintained. To the north: Bundaberg Fowler No.5 at the Australian Narrow Gauge Railway Museum Society. Edited November 23, 2015 by LisaP4 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRman Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 You have got me guessing your location now. Booval to the south and Ipswich workshops north west suggests you might possibly be in East Ipswich?Nice photos anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We both like the contrast to the heat and the beautiful scenery. Just don't come during November. National Geographic once did a feature on Copenhagen, including a big double spread photo of various shades of grey. The caption was: The great gloom of November, or words to that effect!

Ozexpatriate Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 (edited) A wintry antipodean morning. I've meant to post this for a while. This is from last winter in the antipodes. (Specifically Australia's Gold Coast in August.) You can tell it's winter because the surf is so flat. I've spared you the underexposed sunrise photographs. Later the clouds disappeared and the sky was very blue, but all those pictures have family in them. I will lay claim to this as "my area", though the place where I presently live is dark, grey and wet, very, very wet.

AndyID Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 though the place where I presently live is dark, grey and wet, very, very wet. It's not called the Pacific Northwet for nothing you know, although it is a bit drier here on the other side of the Cascade Curtain. Fire risk today is "Low".

peach james Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Funny, AndyID, mine is "hard to get one started outside right now- with or without accelerant" Although we have "only" had 1/2" of rain today... (well, the meter says 11.83mm for Sooke) I was up here: on Friday, This is close to home (but a few years ago- mum, sister and now 10 year old...)

I miss the snow, even though we got a lot where I lived in England. Here it is the start of the rainy season, most depressing, 2 to 4 inches rain a day. But at least it comes late afternoon most days so you know to be in doors. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(seriously: even I don't get why there never seem to be any people down here) Strewth! That's even more crowded than Ninety Mile Beach here Taken from Loch Sport looking west. It's not 90 miles long. It's just over 100 miles. Most of it looks just like this. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
