Post by: NutSAK on December 13, 2007, 09:12:40 PM
How about some pics of some of the places you've been and things you've seen?

Here are some pics from multiple offroading excursions to Colorado:

This is what's known around my parts as the "Connector Train." It runs under a very old wooden bridge that is maybe 35 feet over the tracks, creates quite a bit of trembling and wind currents when is shoots underneath. Very fun to see at 6am in the morning after a late night.

Title: Re: Scenery
Post by: Viking on December 15, 2007, 07:35:09 PM
The first, third and fourth pic is the  Pu'uhonua o Honaunau National Historical Park the Big Island, Hawaii.  The historical park preserves the site where, up until the early 19th century, Hawaiians who broke a kapu or one of the ancient laws against the gods could avoid certain death by fleeing to this place of refuge or "pu'uhonua". The offender would be absolved by a priest and freed to leave. Defeated warriors and non-combatants could also find refuge here during times of battle. The grounds just outside the Great Wall that encloses the pu'uhonua were home to several generations of powerful chiefs.

The fifth pic is also on the Big Island, on the way to Volcanos National Park.

Great stuff viking, appreciate the geography lesson, very informative.  Sounds like it would be an interesting place to visit  :)
Title: Re: Scenery
Post by: Viking on December 16, 2007, 01:50:19 AM
Yeah, the Place of Refuge was really cool.  A Hawaiian could break kapu by just looking at one of the ruling class or by walking ahead of one, or eating before one.  The place of refuge came in handy, I would say.

I'm in Traverse City, state of Michigan, in the United States. Right now it is 0 degrees celsius outside, and the temperature is dropping. A big snowstorm is forecast for tonight and tomorrow.

It seems very strange to be looking at these pictures of sunshine and palm trees when there's a blizzard raging outside my door :-\

J-sews, I hope the weather there is not getting worst. I’ll freeze to death in that temperature. We have a very nice weather here, same as the weather of the State of Hawaii.
 
Here is a picture of our rice fields in the nearby hills and a picture of a century old balete (banyan) tree near a public school here.

Here's a quick pic taken from one of my upstairs windows showing good old Tonbridge.  If you look closely you can see Tonbridge Castle just on the left.  Not a very exciting view, but is great at new years and Nov 5th with all the fireworks.

They are called terraced houses over here, most of them were built during the industrialisation of the country as they allowed lots of houses to be built in a small area and to do so fairly cheap. You find them lots near mines and other big industrial areas. Does look very different in the day though doesn't it!

It's kind of nice living next to a small airport. There's a Warbird fly-in tomorrow so I've been seeing all sorts of cool things overhead today. So far I've spotted a DC-3 puttering along, a formation of 3 AT-6s (I think) and 2 Helicopters, a Huey and a Cobra.

It was a nice show for being fairly small. The problem with going to these things with another person is I spend so much time talking that I forget to take pictures.  :D

They had the Huey and the Cobra, a Navy BlackHawk and a smattering of trainers and interesting civilian planes. For being such a cold and windy day there were a ton of people that showed up, I had to wait almost 15 minutes to peer into the cockpit of the Cobra and then forgot to take a picture!

The Cobra Helicopter. The Marine Corps pilots were very nice to the crowd and spent hours answering questions and explaining the operations of the helicopter.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v14/redmodels/DSCF2029.jpg)

A DC-3.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v14/redmodels/DSCF2041.jpg)

There was a short aerobatic segement with some "Mini-Mustang" kit planes. These things were tiny, I bet I could fit one in the back of my van.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v14/redmodels/DSCF2042.jpg)

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v14/redmodels/DSCF2043.jpg)

The flyer for the show also mentioned "Tanks" as featured pieces but turns out there was only one "Tank" and it was technically a tank destroyer, M10. I actually said "act like a pin-up," this is what I got.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v14/redmodels/DSCF2032.jpg)

And the kicker, there was supposed to be a P-51 Mustang present for some aerobatics but I guess it showed late. We left the show at 2:00pm, an hour before it ended and saw the Mustang fly by my friend's house at 2:45pm.  ::)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v14/redmodels/DSCF2044.jpg)

After that we hit up the state park and played on the river rocks. I did manage to fall and destroy my pride in front of several people, but I stayed out of the water by sheer luck.

Title: Re: Scenery
Post by: Spoonrobot on March 09, 2008, 04:43:21 AM
Were there any multitool-use opportunities along the way?  :)

I had to use the blade and the saw to cut the puppy's leash out of some tangled underbrush a few times and I used my Locksmith to cut up our lunch at the show (another good reason to carry handi-wipes and a bandana, clean blade for improptu lunches) and then do a little carving of my walking stick to pass the time while the puppy played in the water.

Eddie,
Despite the designed purpose of those vehicles I find tanks to be wonderous and amazing to see in person. I haven't had the chance to see an M1 in person either but I plan to get some pictures of an M48 and an M60 that are on display at a VFW hall near my Mother's house when I return home in a few weeks. I spent many an evening when I was a child crawling all over them while my Grandfather conducted business inside.

The flyer for the show also mentioned "Tanks" as featured pieces but turns out there was only one "Tank" and it was technically a tank destroyer, M10.

If you like armor then you really need to make a pilgrimage to CFB Borden, Ontario, about 120kms north of Toronto.  I spent a few years there, and right across the road from me was a place officially called Worthington Park (http://www.pbase.com/mrclark/cfb_borden_2004), but more commonly known as The Tank Park.  There's some seriously impressive old armor kept there for the public to enjoy.

It's changed somewhat since I was there last, which must be about 15 years ago.  There are several pieces that I don't recognize, and many of the ones I do remember were obviously painted as they were all the same monochromatic OD green when I was there.  It's nice to see some of them spruced up a bit! :D

I really have no idea- I am trying to remember all the stuff there, but I really can't.  There is more there than what's pictured though- I remember a couple of old WWII era German tanks that aren't shown.  Of course, that's just what's outside.  Inside the museum behind the park is a whole lot of other stuff including at least one Duck:

Chief,

I don't know anybody in the carousel picture, I just passed and got attracted by the very colorful lights so I took a pic.

I was there the whole afternoon but I was not not able to completely go around the 4 buildings because I got tired of walking and a little bit of shopping for several hours. I presume there is a multitool shop there though I was not able to pass by it. Next time my priority will be to locate that multitool store.

WD, this mall is also crowded. I posted the pix of the less crowded part of the mall. Here's a sample pic of the crowded part that I took with my cell phone.

Nothing like seeing new places to open up one's soul, I like amature photos of places it gives the place a certain character, which a travel brocure could never capture. Here is some of the pics I toke while I traveled to my friend's dad wake in Ilocos Sur, Luzon, Philippines last Sunday.

(http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff122/duckman1975/05042008579.jpg)
The Facade of Sta. Maria Asunta Church in Sta. Maria, Ilocos Sur. Its more than a century old build during the Spanish era.

Took the next 2 pics when we had a few minutes stopover to stretch our legs on our way to see the Banaue Rice Terraces in the province of Benguet last May 4, 2008.

(http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee21/edap617/Sceneries/DSC00134.jpg)

(http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee21/edap617/Sceneries/DSC00135.jpg)

Finally we reached the Banaue rice terraces after 8 hours drive.
These rice terraces are considered one of the eight wonders of the world and these were carved into the mountains 2000 years ago by the indigenous people, the Ifugao. These are located 1,500 feet above seea level.

Nice one Spooney, a tank on a tank :)

OT but haven't those tanks got increadably high silhouettes :o :o
Title: Re: Scenery
Post by: Spoonrobot on May 22, 2008, 09:03:14 PM
Yup, that was one of the greater flaws with the M48/M60 series tanks. Big chassis and big turret made it a fairly large target but this was generally overshadowed in combat by effective use of combined arms and air support.

The M60 had a height of 10.5 feet to the top of the turret. This is a stark contrast to the Soviet tanks of the era with their small squat turrets. The T-72 had a height of 7.5 feet and the M60 replacement, the M1 Abrams has a height of 7.7 feet. Apparently the M60 was pretty comfortable for the crew though, I guess all that height and exposure does have one advantage.

Yeah the were pretty roomy inside :) and unlike there Soviet equivalent, there was no autoloader trying to feed bits of the gunner into the breach :o

But if you look at the M60/48 you can definatly see the design lineage going back to the Shermans and Pershings :), The Soviets on the other hand seemed to have tried to reinvent the wheel with there T64-T72, although the T80 is supposed to be a very creditable tank :)

The Russian tank designers are known not to give much emphasis on tank men comfort.

The widest and the longest river in the Philippines, the Cagayan River. It stretches for 446 kilometers.

I took these pics last May 5, 2008 when I was in Isabela province. I was standing at the middle of the bridge and took this pic.

The visible portion in this pic is only half of the total lenght of the bridge.

M.TEX, the girls were the obstructions. They were obstructing the panoramic view at the back.

It was a 4 kilometers trek to the waterfalls and the only way in going there is through the rice paddies. The water there is cold and crystal clear.

At last... the waterfalls.

WD, I already mastered the macro feature. Took this close up of a sunflower at 5:30 this morning.
I still have to test the landscape and the sunset features. I will be going to the beach late this afternoon.

I find macro is harder "inside" then outside, man made lighting is a challenge.

What cameras u run guys?

i mean why doesnt your macro work,and why does it dark images.

maybe u focus it on some shiny surfaces?usually pocket cams cant figure out right timings/aperatures if the spots u try to focus on shines...ie.polished metals do this.

i use canon eos 350d( = rebel xti i huess,in usa).

Mt. McKinley in Alaska.  (the mountain is also referred to as Denali)

since the weather has finally been nice;

and try and get it around the property, maybe
1 mile of walking, trails or close.

Bob, our city was not directly hit by the storm. We're fortunate that we suffered only minor damages to properties and no casualties. The nearby provinces were not so lucky. There were many casualties and severe damages to buildings and agriculture in nearby provinces, specially the provinces of Iloilo and Aklan.

Ta :) No Suntour on it, its mainly Raleigh/No name stuff on it. Shimano gears and shifters, would like to upgrade them at some stage though as they aren't brilliant.

A few pics of bits and bobs of the bike :)

Hub gears are less efficient than derailleurs, more difficult to fix by the side of the road and heavier. So i'll stick with my derailleur for now :)

The inefficientcy is largely theoretical rather than practical these day's, and while a well adjusted deraileur is more effiecient, most bike I see, the gearing is as slack as a very slack thing :D

I can't argue on the weight front, but you shouldn't need to fix one by the road side, as there pretty bombproof (with a few well publicised exceptions)

Ta :) No Suntour on it, its mainly Raleigh/No name stuff on it. Shimano gears and shifters, would like to upgrade them at some stage though as they aren't brilliant.

That's OK.  Suntour stuff is far from brilliant also.  :P

Don't even bother trying to talk me out of my derailleurs Mike.

shot with nokia n90


we found this little island as we were riding in the old log-trail near lakes,and i found out there was a little route to go to lake without even swimming as it was merely some 60 cm"high",the water,in one place,so we went to the island and had an idea of goin there soon with tent for two nights,so now we just cleaned the branches into one place to have dry firewood,and made pretty good place for tent,and carried some flat large stones from lake,and made fire place.

naah,maybe ill take some hooks and line,but not the pole.some us army mre ill take for sure with me,and esbit cooker.
its about 6 km´s from my home,near very popular swimming beaches but that place is mostly deserted since theres no good road or even a easy trail,just rocky old grown trail with loads of roots across.

oh do u  :D

its just about kilometer long and half wide,that lake and i can walk there in some 5 minutes,its almost deserted all the time although theres sometimes some hikers and chicks taking some tan in their oiled bodies..... :o

on the other end of it is a bird watching tower,and next to it,is some nests of beavers too.i like to hang out in tower and take pics,its kinda odd since the lake is almost in the middle of our town but this side of it where i live is quite intact/untouched.

you should do better the closer you are to the ocean, no pollen out there!
my gf suffers from many allergies, and she luvs the outdoors too, it's hard on
her sometimes.

she was so miserable back in the midwest (middle of the country) but since the move
out north-west here she's much better, we also got a good air filter
(with a big hepa filter) that really helps her. when the allergies are bad just 15 mins
in the room with the air filter and she's much better.

Well I'm on some anti histemines that work really well for about 12 hours, so I managed to go down the woods with boyo for a few hours without sneezing myself inside out :D

I know a lot of people suffer terribly with there allergies (like your GF) so i guess I'm pretty lucky really :)

me too.it would be cool to have em transferred into my hard drive.
i always carried a camera there,until i went and soaked it at swamp,i totally forgotten the cam with me,and we were crossin this swamp where the water and mud were chest high.and the camera was on my belt....
 >:D

it would be nice to ben too to see the rk62 in action :D.
in one pic u can clearly see the notches i cut into its old sheath,for every day i served,and some metal insignias attached to it,they were gold plated but i painted them with flat black and olive drab green i got from guys who repaired tanks.



gee i miss the time i had in army alot.i really do.

Why has the tall building in the first picture got two colours on it ???
Title: Re: Scenery
Post by: Tarrodemierda on July 30, 2008, 10:29:38 AM
it has been in few colour combinations,like many lighthouses do.its more easier to navigate,for ships,when they know what colours of the light houses are visible from different directions.you know,if only two opponent sides are red&white and the other two opponent sides are white,and you know that one that are whit,are facing north and south you know your position in map etc...


i cant tell this in english very well,hope u understand :-\

its located on 59deg 46,9n / 21deg 22,3e

its been there from 1753 although it was blown in about 1808-09 in fiinnish war,then they rebuilded it on the original leftovers6ruins back in 1814,the light was fixed,it wasnt blinking until 1906,and it had the radiosystem for navigating too,at 1935 but the radio was silenced because satellite time did it almost useless in 1996,and at the same time the last there worked man quitted too.

im a total lighthouse freak,i just love those.

our best in my opinion is this,bengtskär light house in front of Hanko named town.
heres a few shots of it,ive been there some twnty times diving and just hangin out.
u can get there by boat only.

When I take photos at concerts (when I have a pass and bring my DSLR) I usually do about 200-300 per band, and if I get 25 decent ones out of that I'm quite happy... although that is under difficult lighting conditions, and I prefer not to use a flash.

same goes out here,i take pics without flash if i can avoid using it,so im also used to see that i get some 20-40 good pics from a group of some 3-5 hundred ;).

in most of the cases flash ruins pics totally.

well its memorial statue/plate honouring our troops,in lappland wars,its made from old russian tanks front armour found in there after war,the holes are genuine,not shot after,and the upper edge/shape of plate resembles part of old finnish map/borderline,part where the battles were.

my relatives have died there so i like to visit the place,and many other places of war where they fought for our freedom against commies.

russians captured there were afraid that we eat them,since their officers said that finnish soldiers eat prisoners.
well....ive seen some gruesome photos.officially it didnt happen but privates tell different stories and pictures of human skins were good propaganda.

if u wanna see the most legendary weapon,not the Puukko,but the gun,search for "suomi-konepistooli".its still one hell of a weapon in cqb type of war.

our most best selling book is about our war against russians,its titled"tuntematon sotilas" which translates straight as tuntematon sotilas.

even i,im 31 yrs,have seen those simple crosses in woods and swamps in those places.with scraps of helmet usually fallen in ground in front of cross.

it makes u think.it really does.

some of my relatives havent ever been found in the scenes,thats why i have been there digging up too.russians left their wounded,dead,weak ones in battlegrounds without mercy,sometimes they killed their wounded but we had attitude to save all wounded we could,all the dead ones were buried if it was possible even by risking the life of the grave diggers.and all the soldiers buried in n battlegrounds that are discovered are brought back home,or buried in officiel war graveyards.

german graveyard in lappland is very touchy,its so formal,clean and everuthing is in order even after all these years with out almost any care taking.only the iron  crosses are stolen in most wood crosses.its a shame that man is so greedy that he rapes graves too just to have iron cross to sell in ebay.its almost as if u steal someones gravestone.

i have to say that im all against white power supremacy scene.
this is say because it seems that all the speech about germans in any way leads to nazi sympathy charges.
one of my ancestors in my straight bloodline was sent to germany to learn battle tactics etc @ year 1917 and one served in wehrmach but wasnt part of nsadp.he fought in finland during ww2,against russians and was later reported MIA.

This one Mikko ???

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Raate_road

russians captured there were afraid that we eat them,since their officers said that finnish soldiers eat prisoners.
well....ive seen some gruesome photos.officially it didnt happen but privates tell different stories and pictures of human skins were good propaganda.

if u wanna see the most legendary weapon,not the Puukko,but the gun,search for "suomi-konepistooli".its still one hell of a weapon in cqb type of war.
The drum fed Sub machine gun, yep that was a fine weapon, the Russians were so scared of it, they made there own version the PPSH41 :)

russians stole those guns from us and made those poor copies,ive shot a lot with both and the russian is effective yes but it keeps jammin all the time,accuracy is poor and it suffers from fast wear of barrel.

if u want to shoot suomi one,come on and pay a visit;).i have loads of cheap ammo for my own.

"SWOBO Folsom

"The one-speed, coaster-brake, knock-around Folsom begs to be ridden with one hand on the bars and the other around a box of cans. With no brake levers to grab, you will always have one hand free for waving, not drowning. Remember the thrill of laying down a huge skidding fish-tail? This bike will make you laugh.

We wanted a kicked-back urban bash-mobile that can be dropped, stepped on, bike-piled and launched. All our bikes can be ridden in jeans, but the Folsom can be ridden in a snowmobile suit.

The frame is oversize round and box section aluminum. Light and tough. Our beefy rear-entry dropouts have an integrated hub adjuster/chain-tensioning screw; a nice detail if you ever want to retro fit a single-speed non-coaster brake hub into the frame.

With some BMX dust thrown into the look, feel and ride, it begs to be beaten into submission. Both front and rear hubs are bolt-on. Tires, handlebars, stem and pedals are BMX bomb-proof. Like all the Swobo bikes, it sports our exclusive fork, saddle, grips, seat collars and handlebar end caps. Our custom 4" rise handlebars are designed to work with a wide range of human hand, arm positions, and lengths for stand-up, push or sit-down riding styles.

Primer Grey finish is coated with a super-hard matte clear coat. Two sizes, no fooling around."

ok i just had one really good frame from bruiser hangin from the roof;)

that one in the pic from you,is it new or some vintage,it sure looks good :drool:

i didnt know what u call that range of bikes.expedition,i gotta remember that :cheers:

Hehe, but I could put one in there if it would make you feel better. :D Here's some proof that I could... Apperently I had some time on my hands when I took this, cause I edited the picture to take out the lights, glares in the water, and nasty wires snaking over the rocks. And, for no reason in particular, added a picture of my wife in the middle. It's pretty funny if you've seen the cave, cause she would be about 10 cm tall in this pic. ::) :D

One of the eight wonders of the world, the underground river. This is located in the island of Palawan, our last frontier. This is one part of our country where there are still virgin forests. I was there mid of last year and will share with you some pics.

The underground river is 8 kilometers long but tourist are only allowed to explore up to 3 kilometer from the mouth of the cave. Only professional spelunkers are allowed to venture beyond 3 kilometers.

From the capital city of Puerto Princisa, the cave can be reached by 1 hour trip by land and then a 30-40 minutes ride by banca...

Yeh theres a fair bit . Theres alot of inland water ways called the Norfolk Broads which are protected  . Basically a Broad is a lake , they were the result of digging for peat along time ago . The broads are connected to each other with rivers .

When I get home from boat training I will see if I have any pics .

Plenty of tilapia fish live in there, LM. Tilapia is the most common fresh water fish here. We dubbed it as "aquatic chicken" because it grows fast, breeds in captivity and propagation requires little input.

I know mate, I used to live in northern Quebec... it used to hit -40C during winter... and then the wind chill set in... for you Americans who don't know any better -40C = -40F it's the only place they actually meet... and yes, it's damn cold...

well good morning.

my scene here has totally changed in one night in my eyes a,s 7 trees crqcked or had to be cut during night,and last 4 hrs ive been choppin this one thick old birch into 40 cm stumps,to get em bit lighter to move,and another one is waiting,but my chainbsaw ran out of fuel,and the cahin is dead,as its been sharpened few times durin night and now theres nothin to sharpen in teeths anymore.well its oa good supply of fire wood but man it was chilly job in 10-17 m/s swirling wind,in middle of spikey snow rain.i had to take girlfriend and my pets to our yard-building,for night as it can be heated with wood as the house is cold now.one vw bug got crushed in our yard by fallin tree too,but that wasnt in anyones use but still...it was in good running condition,i hear.

im exhausted,really exhausted :drink:

I'm far too upper class for it personally, but some people really get into it.

One of my employees (and their kid!) eats there every morning on the way to work - occasionally they bring me a "Bacon & Egg McMuffin" - It's hard to know what to say.

One of my friends works in a mall, and has Maccas for dinners most nights before heading home.

(Incidentally, both examples are a little on the heavy set side.  :-X )

The advertising for it here is insane, They run constant TV campaigns that are updated probably every 3-4 months? They're trying to make it a Lifestyle thing

Nope...you got the wrong Texas.

This one is near the border between NSW and QLD. I work up in Innisfail(but occasionally make a trip down south to Gympie and Brisbane) so it is down.

Out geocaching today and finally took a pic of this local furnace which is virtually on our doorstep. The site has been landscaped and includes lots of woodland and park walks, and forms part of the National Forest project (http://www.nationalforest.org/), as well as being a major "junction" of public footpaths that lead to most parts of the country.

I should really have taken more, but hey, I was out for relaxing and at least I achieved that! It was also another excuse to play with my new camera, which I'm liking a lot so far.

It's a lovely part of the world, and right on my doorstep (well, a 30 minute drive). I intend to be walking a lot in the Derbyshire Dales and Peak District this year. It's not that easy to find some peace and quiet on this little island these days.

NJ is nicknamed the garden state, although most people only know it from driving through it and seeing the industrial/refineries/and ports along I-95 the road that stretches from north to south along the eastern US. Giving it its other nickname the armpit of America, but there are Pluses & minuses to every locale.

I've been doing a lot of walking recently with my partner and daughter, and very occasionally, my son. I even thought to take some pics along the way....

This rock formation in the Derbyshire Peak District is known locally as "The 5 Clouds":

(http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e10/DaveK-ToolPics/scenery/5clouds.jpg)

Here's the missus being attacked by a gang of killer sheep - somewhere below the 5 Clouds:

(http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e10/DaveK-ToolPics/scenery/killersheep.jpg)

One of the clouds:

(http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e10/DaveK-ToolPics/scenery/hencloud.jpg)

This is a route we took to the top of Kinder Scout, a high plateau in the Dark Peak District. The Five clouds above are in the "White Peaks" where the rocks are predominately granite and limestone, whereas the Dark peaks take their name from dark peat covering:

(http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e10/DaveK-ToolPics/scenery/kinder2.jpg)

Looking back from the top of Kinder Scout:

(http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e10/DaveK-ToolPics/scenery/kinder3.jpg)

Atop Kinder are many weird, often comical rock formations where erosion has been at work since the last ice age - here's just one example of literally hundreds and my kids taking full advantage......

(http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e10/DaveK-ToolPics/scenery/kinder.jpg)

North Wales now, Snowdonia National Park in an area known a Cwm Idal. By British standards this is pretty wild!

(http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e10/DaveK-ToolPics/scenery/cwmidal.jpg)

Cwm Idal again. The crevasse at top-centre, above the boulder field is known as "The Devil's Kitchen", and is about 2 miles from the camera to give you an idea of scale.

(http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e10/DaveK-ToolPics/scenery/devilskitchen.jpg)

I've a few more similar to post when I can be bothered to upload them from the camera!
Title: Re: Scenery
Post by: Nikos on August 30, 2009, 03:10:07 AM
Beautiful shots Dave! :tu: That Cwm Idal (how is it pronounced actually?) looks like a quite tranquil place. It's been a while since I last hiked or anything so I'm overly jealous. :D
Title: Re: Scenery
Post by: DaveK on August 30, 2009, 03:13:34 AM
Cwm Idal is Welsh (which I'm not), but I think it's pronounced Cum Eedal. Once you get near the peaks, it's very tranquil, although it's almost crowded lower down. Walk for an hour or two, and you generally don't see two many people, just lots of sheep!

Funny. My area looks just like Smitty's, with lots of trees overhead and everywhere you look. Compare that to some of DaveK's shots which have no trees for as far as the eye can see. It seems almost like an alien landscape to me. :)

I went for a walk with the two ladies in my life today, starting and ending at Foxton Locks in Leicestershire. The lock system comprises 10 locks, all of which are still in use in the traditional way, 200 years later. There aren't many of man's inventions that haven't been improved in two centuries!

Some piccies, and I'll probably add few more on my blog later. Hope you like them  :cheers:

Now that is a small lock system.

 :o I thought it was pretty big myself! I certainly wouldn't have wanted to dig it myself with the technology available in 1809! :D

Or did you mean the width? They sure are narrow, hence most canal boats being known as "narrowboats"! Obviously, they only exist for pleasure these days, but in their heyday, the canals were the arteries of Britain through the industrial revolution. It's all rather humbling really...

It just ocurred to me that in the first picture, you can see a woman in shorts, with a pink jacket tied around her waist and another woman opposite, and between them they are helping to get a narrowboat and third (onboard) member of their party into the second from last lock. It turns out that they were Canadian!

Nice pics Dave. Thanks.

Glad you enjoyed them Eddie :tu:
Title: Re: Scenery
Post by: Chako on October 11, 2009, 03:46:16 AM
I was talking about the width. In fact, I find that canal system endearing and lovable.

Around here, we have huge locks designed for Great Lakes Freighters which incidentally are longer and larger than most ocean going freighters.

In fact, the Ontario lock is only used for pleasure craft now as it is too small for the newer freighters.

Here is the Soo lock on the Canadian side...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sault_Ste._Marie_Canal

And a virtual tour...

http://www.pc.gc.ca/eng/lhn-nhs/on/ssmarie/visit/visit6.aspx

Today, all commercial traffic goes through the American locks.

Not for bigger boats perhaps but certainly an impressive design is the Falkirk Wheel here in Scotland.

My folks actually have a narrow boat and have been round the wheel, but I've not done it myself.  It's an impressive thing though.

No, unfortunately no one would take any pictures of me climbing, but that's okay. The long route is my friend Minetta being belayed by Edward, and the other 2 are the guys that taught me to climb, Senan and Colin. Both are just awesome, but totally different styles. I like Senan's style, skip the technical bologna with a big reach move, which works for me since I am 6'2" and pretty strong. :D

Well, my intended adventure in North Wales fell victim to the weather and a few other "reasons", so I had to content myself with a short walk locally today. It was a bit overcast but managed to get a few pics that are passable.

First we had to get past the Swans that were defending the bridge. The mother here is chasing some other walker she didn't like the look of, so we were able to sneak past :D

This former stately home was a nursing home until recently, when it became a private residence again (by someone with a lot of money I guess)! The Church belongs to the house I believe, and is something like 800 years old and still used. Most people have a shed in their back garden  :P

Looking back to "Swangate"

Quite an impressive back garden this place had:

Still getting bits of snow here, enough that I haven't seen my lawn since before Christmas.  Pretty unusual TBH, normally if we get snow at all it's only for a couple of days, not weeks. :-\

Took some pics on the way to a job this morning.  First was through a very dirty windshield, but I opened up the driver's side window for a second to take the other two.

Not the best pics but I thought some may enjoy....

Completely OT, but that reminds me; the wife and I were browsing around a local antique store yesterday. I was surprised to notice a couple of old fencing masks in one booth. A bit further on, we found another pair! And as amazing as that was there were two more upstairs! It was completely baffling, as there are no proper fencing clubs or tournaments or competitions of any kind in this area. :think: Odd that there were no swords (do they call them swords?) amongst the antiques, only masks.

Very odd.  In modern sport fencing (and as far back as the early C19th) the swords are split into three types: the Foil. The Epee and the Sabre.

In the later part of the C19th you got the first split into two different types of practice, the new sporting "game" and the older Martial traditions kept up by the Army and Navy (with Sabres and Cutlasses).  Before that all Fencing was practised with the thought that it was a skill that might keep you alive some day.  What my group does is study the old texts and treatises that were published about the older Martial applications.  The oldest one known of today was written around 1300AD.

On Good Friday, SWMBO and I headed up to the Peak District to do a walk centred around Stanton Moor. It absolutely p1ssed it down with rain the entire time, and the total disintegration of some of the paths due to the rain, made it quite hard work at times. It was fun though, and I managed to get some half decent pics too. You really need to click the yellow bar to get the detail on some of these - 800 x 600 doesn't really give too much away!

Bronze Age Quarry

The Nine Ladies Stone Circle. Not exactly Stonehenge, but old. 4,000 years old in fact!

Earl Grey Tower There wasn't much info about for this medieval-looking tower. I have no idea whether it was anything to do with the tea bloke - maybe I'll Google it later!

(http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e10/DaveK-ToolPics/scenery/Easter%202010/Esater2010017.jpg)

I frequently refer to "The Peaks" or "The Peak District" on here. I am of course referring to the Peak District National Park (http://www.peakdistrict.gov.uk/), Britain's oldest National Park which is essentially a hilly area of Derbyshire that I have the good fortune to live very near!

I cottoned on to this a few years ago, and together with SWMBO, we seem to head out there on every free day now.

Last Monday, we decided to tackle Mam Tor (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mam_Tor), (famous for it's "Blue John" precious stone) and here are some pics which hopefully show why Fiona and I love this area so much.

In fact, here's a picture that encapsulates the Peaks for me:

If you were to draw a vertical line in the centre of this picture, from the village of Castleton, to the top of the ridge - that's pretty much the route we took to the summit. Hard work, but worth it when you get there, I assure you!

Here's me, atop Mam Tor. I'm not that fat really, it's the wind blowing my jacket up. Honest! The Dark peaty plateau in the background is Kinder Scout, pictures of which I've posted on this thread before!

... and a similarly wind inflated Fiona:

The weather isn't generally too bad in the Peaks. It's not as high as the Lake District for example - the hills aren't really high enough to cause relief rainfall etc.

is the weather bad in the peaks then?

Title: Re: Scenery
Post by: DaveK on April 10, 2010, 01:48:28 AM
No - that's my point really.

The Lakes have the highest rainfall in the UK apparently, but the Peaks are nowhere near as high, so the weather is pretty much the same as anywhere in the Midlands.

Whereabouts are you heading to in the Peaks? Maybe I can give you some tips :)

 :P

The lack of true peaks in the Peak District is a bit weird really  :think: I'm not even sure that there's anything that can be classed as a mountain rather than a hill in fact.

There's plenty of climbing around though, in fact I may have snapped a couple of decent climbs earlier (haven't taken the camera out of the pack yet)!

It's not something I generally take too much notice of, but I'll look to take a few snaps of climbs next time we're out.

I haven't looked at what pics I got earlier, but we walked to the foot of some rocks known as "Black Rocks", where my dad used to take me when I was very young. He was (and still is although age has cramped his style a bit now) a very keen rock climber for about 50 years. He has climbed the Mattahorn and all sorts of "proper" mountains, but he used to take my brother and I here 30 years ago to try our hand, do a bit of abseiling etc. It was quite nostalgic going back there today with my daughter :)

I'll fetch the camera and see what I got today :)

Some random pics from yesterday. As my daughter was along, we went for a more serene walk on (mostly) better paths yesterday, and whilst not greatly challenging, we had good fun messing around in the Black Rocks near Cromford, which in turn is near Matlock in Derbyshire.

We started off at an old canal wharf, with ducks:

(http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e10/DaveK-ToolPics/scenery/Cromford/Cromford003.jpg)
(http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e10/DaveK-ToolPics/scenery/Cromford/Cromford004.jpg)
(http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e10/DaveK-ToolPics/scenery/Cromford/Cromford001.jpg)
(http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e10/DaveK-ToolPics/scenery/Cromford/Cromford002.jpg)

After that came a rather severe and rapid climb through the streets of Cromford, before we started to see some more pleasant countryside:

(http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e10/DaveK-ToolPics/scenery/Cromford/Cromford006.jpg)

In the middle of this pic, on top of the hill, you can see a tower. That is the "Heights of Abraham" which I believe has been a cable-car accessed attraction since Victorian times. Worth a visit if you're ever in the area - we were there last year :)

(http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e10/DaveK-ToolPics/scenery/Cromford/Cromford008.jpg)

Resting and rehydrating at the top of the steep ascent! Nearly bloody killed me! We were about half way through the ascent at this point  :cry:

No pictures until we reached the foot of the Black Rocks - I was focussed on marching / thinking about straying from the ridiculously steep route most of the way up :D But eventually we got there and this is the only snap I got of Hannah with some guys who were abseiling in the background. I think those were the slabs that my dad used ot take me to 30 years ago - but I can't be totally sure :)

(http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e10/DaveK-ToolPics/scenery/Cromford/Cromford009.jpg)

Hannah and I outflanking Fiona "head them off at the pass"!

(http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e10/DaveK-ToolPics/scenery/Cromford/Cromford010.jpg)

Oops - how did this get in there?

(http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e10/DaveK-ToolPics/scenery/Cromford/Cromford012.jpg)

Pictures of people are soooo much better when you surprise them - don't you think?

(http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e10/DaveK-ToolPics/scenery/Cromford/Cromford013.jpg)

Just a nice pic of the ladies in my life :) :

(http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e10/DaveK-ToolPics/scenery/Cromford/Cromford022.jpg)

Trying to find our car - it was down there somewhere!

That's the lot this time :)

Looking out over Stuart Lake, Ft. St. James, BC. Still covered mostly in ice. And a shot across the drop in the middle of the Tea Caves. Yes, back for round 2 :D

(http://i572.photobucket.com/albums/ss166/Shane769/People%20and%20Places/DSC01490.jpg) (http://i572.photobucket.com/albums/ss166/Shane769/People%20and%20Places/DSC01492.jpg)
Vernon on Fire In The Sky, 5.12-. Phil on Conspiracy Theory, a super overhung and sustained 5.13b.

(http://i572.photobucket.com/albums/ss166/Shane769/People%20and%20Places/DSC01496.jpg) (http://i572.photobucket.com/albums/ss166/Shane769/People%20and%20Places/DSC01502.jpg)
Looking back to Ft. St. James from the far side of the Tea Caves. A view of Summit Lake from the top of Teapot Mountain.

(http://i572.photobucket.com/albums/ss166/Shane769/People%20and%20Places/DSC01503.jpg) (http://i572.photobucket.com/albums/ss166/Shane769/People%20and%20Places/DSC01504.jpg)
Vernon just after rapping down to the base of the climb... with a 30+ pound Husky puppy in his backpack. And Chris coming down to join us. This was called the Rocksicle Bluffs.

(http://i572.photobucket.com/albums/ss166/Shane769/People%20and%20Places/DSC01505.jpg) (http://i572.photobucket.com/albums/ss166/Shane769/People%20and%20Places/DSC01508.jpg)
The pillar on the far left (which Chris was rapping down in the previous picture) formed the 5.10b we all climbed (my hardest route to date), and on the right with the tree in the middle was a strangely difficult 5.9. On top is where we ate some grub while we hauled packs back up.

Gorgeous view of Northern BC from the top of Teapot... spoiled by Ben, the ugly old bugger :P. And West Lake, which was an amazing place to go play frizbee and bocce after my last exam.

I can imagine the looks going around the table when the inventor first proposed that idea! ::) :D
I think people over here are used to eccentric/odd ball engineering :D

That clip's actually time lapsed a touch, it really takes about 5 minutes to do that move. :D  The spooky thing is that it's almost totally silent.

Cheers for the nice comments guys. :cheers:

Those are lovely pics as well Allan, I'd love to go see Denmark again. :)

No, but I actually live in a little place just 16 km away from the city, where I work.
School, Kindergarten and the Grocerystore is just on the other side of the road.  :)

My parents actually keep a boat on the Union Canal (the lower of the two waterways) and have been up and over the thing.  One of these days I'll need to persuade them to take me for a ride as well. :)

Here's some pics from Denver from a couple years ago.  Most are scenery, some animals from our little bike outing, and some from the aquarium in Denver.

This is at Red Rocks Amphitheater...I think it looks like that big worm from Empire Strikes Back

(http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w63/kelrob3/Life/Colorado%2008/BigWormRock2.jpg)

This is from the aquarium...no there's nothing wrong with my camera, they were in a blue lit tank

(http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w63/kelrob3/Life/Colorado%2008/bluejellies.jpg)

This just a view of a "river" in Waterton Canyon (I think that's what it's called)

(http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w63/kelrob3/Life/Colorado%2008/Creekasmurferton.jpg)

View of Denver from Red Rocks...a bit hazy, but you get the idea
(http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w63/kelrob3/Life/Colorado%2008/DenverfromRedRocks.jpg)

Green Eel

Grasshopper at Red Rocks...just playing with the camera
(http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w63/kelrob3/Life/Colorado%2008/grasshopperatRedRocks.jpg)

Kim + Scenery = Gorgeous!

Mountain Goat...he was literally right there, like 15 feet from us when came around a corner...awesome!

We borrowed bikes from our friends out there so we stayed on the road, but it was breathtaking.  I love Colorado...mountains in WV don't look like that at all.  So beautiful.  I took so many pics of the rock formations and stuff because they are so different than what we have around here.  Granite vs Limestone and shale...beautiful.

I know what you mean...in my home state, West Virginia, the highest point is just under 5,000 feet above sea level.  That's just about 1500 feet above Colorado's lowest point!  And almost 10,000 ft below it's highest point!  Puts things in perspective.  :)

OK, finally got round to uploading my pics from last weekend!

As mentioned in the "Hijacking Death Chat" thread, this was the longest and most challenging walk I've done since being ill, and it was bloody hard going, but very enjoyable. The was a haze around though, so most of the scenic shots didn't really come out well :(

Here's what I got this time:

As always, assisted by the lovely SWMBO:

This sheep has 4 horns  :o It was bloody big too, we gave it a wide berth......

(http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e10/DaveK-ToolPics/scenery/Castleton%2024-04-10/Castleton2018.jpg)

Half way up Win Hill (1300 ft ish):

I looked this up, I think its an eastern bluebird. I like birds in the wild, but hate the ones outside my apartment which start their obnoxious noisemaking at 3:30 AM for some ungodly reason and go until 9-10 PM. Had to use some serious zoom so its not as sharp as it should be:

We'll go on an one-day hike tomorrow to a nearby alpine lake (2100m elevation) called  the "Dragonlake" (Δρακόλιμνη). I'll only have my cellphone with me to takes shots but hopefully one of my mates will bring his SLR along so (blessings of the weather gods) we might have some nice pics by tomorrow night. :D

I should have guessed the Betwys-y-Coed and Snowdon shots really - obvious now you've pointed it out! I assumed they were all from the same place and the middle one threw me I think!

So, did you take the train up to the summit of Snowdon, walk it, or climb it?

Gotcha. We camped in the Llanberis Pass last August, sort of opposite where the path car park starts. I have some pictures on here (this thread I think) of Cwm Idal - just around the corner from Llanberis.

Just got back to civilization. It was a ~10 hour hike with the last couple of hours being the most difficult (1200m altitude descend via a quite slippery slope and some snow). My knees feel like they won't bend for the next couple of days... :D I'll try to upload some pics tomorrow... :tu:

We went for a walk around the town of Bakewell last Monday and I got a couple of pics worth sharing:

The weir in Bakewell town:

The outskirts of Bakewell as we followed a Public footpath to see where it took us:

Drink break and quick check of the map:

I like those stone fences Dave. Most of the old stone fences around here are gone or very little is left of them.

They are a feature of the Peak District David - there must be thousands of miles of them in the area and some of them are verging on being ancient. As the Peak District is now a National Park, I think there are rules that the farmers have to follow and they have to be maintained, which is good for us tourists.

Some of them are built on hillsides too, and I always spare a thought for the poor labourers who must have had to transport the stone by hand and build them hundreds of years ago. It's hard enough walk to simply walk through some of these areas, let alone bring a bunch of rocks and build a wall!

North Wales is a bit like this too :)
Title: Re: Scenery
Post by: Gareth on June 06, 2010, 11:34:02 AM
Plenty in Scotland as well where the term is "drystane dyke".  The common feature is that they're not build with any kind of mortar, just stones piled neatly on top of each other hence 'dry stone'.
