Susie, those were beautiful. I hope a thick glass aquarium was separating you.

Sure was Stuart. I was kind of surprised they turned out so well. I'm not that good with glass & photos.

Tom...amazing as always. I think you missed your calling. You should be working for N.G.

I have been so swamped with work and then at night with classes for my Masters but one of these days I promise I am going to sit down and read your round the world trip.
I guess pictures are supposed to say a thousand words so from the ones I have seen I guess I have read a lot, right? But I can't wait to read it. I'm afraiid it will inspire me
to pick up and do the same! My trips are always confined to as much as I can do in 2 months during summer vacation so I will need to find a way to get out of work. I'm sure my students would love a substitute teacher for a year.

with about 15,000 photos there's bound to be 1 or 2 good ones. flowers.png when i'm wandering around, i often see things from a camera lens point of view. i know, it's weird. i'll be walking along, stop and see something that i think would make a good picture (or adjust where i'm standing so it looks just right). i should post a series of my blurry, out of focus and just real bad pictures.

you'll have to let me know if you are passing through portland on your next roadtrip this summer. i'm stuck here, but summer is great in the pacific nw. (last weekend of july is brewfest!)

I am sure I will pass Portland. I will drive from southern CA to northern and camp at every National Park there along the way. Then I will drive north toCrater Park and then in WA I want to see Olympic and the Hoh Rainforest. Then I will go west to Glacier Park in Montana before heading back home.


Any suggestions in those areas? I heard there may have been damage near the Hoh rainforest or with the roads. Also even thoough it is summer, with the elevation in some areas I hope there won't still be icy roads or impasses.

Some of those photos are amazing!

These are my favourite photos from my own trip so far.



Wow! Those are simply breathtaking! That's it, I'm hanging up my camera. (just kidding. . .)

I now officially hate this chat foru8m because everytime I see everyone's gorgrous photos I am so jealous that I have not been there or couldn't capture an image like that!

rbisset, the picture of the girl is adorable! I can only imagine (that's the problem!) how unreal it must have been to see the Yamdrok Lake with my own eyes, but I guess your picture will have to do. Wow!

Battlemonkey, I have been to the Badlands twice before and never got a perspective like your first picture. Incredible!!!

Thank you! To be honest, the earth did most of the work. I took that late afternoon right after a storm (which happened to be so fierce that it ripped my aging Eureka tent to pieces), so the lighting was pretty unique.

The first time I saw Yamdrok Lake I involutarily shouted out WOW! I just couldn't help it. It was one of the most amazing, gorgeous views I have ever seen. You just cannot imagine the turquoise colour of the water and no picture could do it justice!

Tom, unbelievable! That is a great shot! I don't know how you ever left your travels and came back to civilization!

Who is Eric that you attributed for the picture?

Tom, did you get my reply for the travel maps? I would love those. Maybe you'll join me on that leg of the trip. I'll write you a teacher's not to get out of work.
