Stunning photos!

Asia, Africa and Europe

The Americas, Australia, and the Pacific

Some factual and editing changes needed; otherwise, a visual feast.

Stunning indeed - thanks!

I've just worked through the first link.... Absolutely breathtaking. Gosh, it would be a treat to visit these places during my lifetime...
I'll think twice about Trolls Tongue though. There are no railings....sheesh...
Will work through link 2 soon.

TX for the share!

I don't doubt that these places have incredible colours but I do question the colours in the photos. Nature is wonderful so why mess it in [insert name of your favourite photo editor]?

Or is that just me being ?

Cave of crystals looks like photos in Superman's fortress...
Awesome images in this group too...

I have to disagree with the statement about Nederlands. Yes, it has Amsterdam, windmills, and tulip fields but its most important feature is HansV and Leiden!

agreed....
Now we just need to send a photographer over to Hans's house to get a pic and edit the webpage.

[HansV]

C'mon guys, it would be very worrying if I were the most important feature of The Netherlands!

[Claude]

brilliant pictures indeed, thanks !

Needless to say, you are quite the ambassador for your country on the Microsoft forums...

for the post. Spectacular! I wonder why our ancestors in India insist us to go to Kailash and now I got the answer.

I'll go if you're paying.

Meanwhile my money is on him living here:

That would be uncomfortable - it has no roof. I prefer sleeping under a bridge...

Hi Ken.
I can vouch for the colours in "40. Hillier Lake, Western Australia".
We traveled from Southern Cross to Esperance one year for our holidays, and a local took us out along the coast, west of the town, to see Pink Lake and others.
Living in Southern Cross had accustomed us to salt lakes, but the Pink lake(s) near Esperance really are a vivid pink.

I've not visited Wave Rock, but again, the WA wheatbelt east of Perth is studded with rocks, and many of them do exhibit the rain-stain colours shown in this photo.

...sleeping under a bridge...

and doing that isn't uncomfortable? I thought you'd get wet feet sleeping under a bridge in Leiden?

Ken
PS by the way, I once met some really nice people in your neck of the woods, if tell them I sent you, I'm sure they'd give you a more comfortable place to stay

[HansV]

Many years ago, on another board that many of us frequented, I posted a photo taken near my home. It prominently featured a bridge - not unusual for Leiden - so people speculated that I lived under that bridge. I still refer to this from time to time, although that post cannot be found anymore...

...that post cannot be found any more...[/size]

I wonder if Claude has it on a back up tape somewhere?

[Rudi]

I cannot be 100% sure, but I think I recall this incident. If it is the board I think you refer to, I joined up there in 2004, so your "many years ago" is sometime during the last decade? If my memory is serving me correctly, it was a hilarious scenario at the time...

[HansV]

Yes, I meant Woody's Lounge, of course. I don't remember which year it was, though.

Oh! My! God!

My Bucket List just overflowed!!!!

Guess I'd better get started ....
