i like the clouds in your last mt picture. i have trouble getting good moon pictures. it always just turns out looking like a white light in the sky (no detail).

work is slow, so maybe i can do another continent. europe will have to be split up into at least a couple posts.

Susie, I am waiting for yours.


Stuart, I am furiously unpacking and hugely anticipating getting to the "photo box".
Can't wait. Pouring over old pictures is such a great way to pass away the day(s).

Tom, can I live vicariously through you? The Great Wall and Machu Pichu are on the very top of my list for places to see before I die.

Susie, unpacking from what? Did you move or did you come back from a trip?

Here, I'll make the pic bigger, and when you look at it, think of the opening music to 2001: A Space Odyssey. . .

Stuart, we moved. It was monumental. My husband built the house. It took 14 months. Everytime I start searching for the photos, things like hanging doors get in the way...hmph. wink.gif

Bloomer, nice monkey.

Tom, I've got some great monkey pics for you! I have the funniest video as well of one of the gibbons I used to take care of. He's just walking by the water, but they look like giant puppets and walk like E.T.! They are sooo funny!

I also love the Pingyao shot. It's great.

Bring on the monkey pics, Susie! Where were you at when you were working with monkeys? I visited Monkeyland in South Africa and as we were leaving a gibbon (I think) came walking down the path then hopped on the fence and put its arm around another little monkey. The little monkey kind of stared at him like "wtf?" and jumped away. It was cute. How come there's no :monkey: emoticon?

I'll have to post a photo collage of my lil' monkey friend on here.

Okay Tom, I got a few of the pictures uploaded. There are loads more, but I think you need a monkey fix.

IPB Image IPB Image

The little guy on the right was just like a baby. So was sooo cute. He had these little, little, hands and feet. When I went in to feed him he would jump on my back, sit on my shoulder and play with my earlobes ever so softly. Other times he would freak right out.

I found a moon shot of my own. It is not nearly as spectacular as the ones you all have shared, but I didn't want to feel left out. Sorry there are no monkeys in it:
