Pictures From Your Part of the World

[0bli0]

thanks for the great comments! but i can't really take the credit - it's just a beautiful country/island/continent.

the photos linked above were taken with a Canon 1dmk2 digital SLR. the top photo taken at Manly Beach and bottom photo of Narrabeen Beach were taken using a Canon 24-70 2.8L lens. the middle two photos taken at South Curl Curl Beach were taken using a Sigma 15mm fisheye lens. the fisheye is what gives it the curve. i do not use any filters.

the photos were offloaded into Apple Aperture for basic processing/resizing for web, etc.

Some photos from Jetty Park Pier, about a mile from our house...

A couple fishing on a nice afternoon

This kid was brave riding his bike along the rocky edge of the pier

The Disney Wonder sailing by the pier

Port Canaveral was closed down due to a bomb scare with Carnival so all the boat traffic was held at the mouth of the port

A Pelican watching for scraps

Three kids enjoying a nice afternoon

This one thrown in because I just think it's a cute photo of my Mom and Grandmother enjoying the afternoon together

Thanks for the info Oblio...it seems like every local( i"sh) zoo has an Australian exhibit now. the one in Cleveland even has a real house in the middle of it...i'll have to post some photos when that area opens up again( closed in winter) so we can get the real deal and set those zoo planners right

Some of MnM's World in Orlando...

Check out all those yummy MnMs!

Tons and tons of MnMs

Every color and type you can think of, they had it

A view of the front of the store, this place is HUGE, like the size of a grocery store but nothing but MnM's stuff

The Giant MnM in the opening of the store

My Fiance on the MnM "what color MnM are you" machine...his color was Brown

Me on the color selector, mine was Pink, of course

The MnM's Race Car with the Pirates of the Caribbean theme MnM's on it

2angels, the one of your mom and grandma is so cute.

Thanks for the compliments guys, I saw that couple and snapped a photo I hope they didn't mind but I thought it was so sweet. As far as the one of my Mom and Grandma they wanted nothing to do with their photo being taken, my Grandma kept covering her face and my Mom was in hysterics. I couldn't resist, I think it shows quite a bit of emotion in their faces. We were all out for a nice afternoon of watching the cruise ships go by and I snapped a few photos while we were waiting.

Someone asked me the other day whether I could post pics from Iceland. Here are a couple my DH took last summer.

I'm glad you found your way over, Freyja! Your husband is a great photographer! I'd like to know what kind of bird that is, and please tell us about the man in the photo!

Thanks! I´ll tell him. The bird is a Puffin and the man was doing a one-man theatre play about one of the vikings.

Someone mentioned a while back they like old buildings
This is how my area used to look.......................

I'd planned on going downtown this weekend and taking some photos for this thread, but it's supposed to rain. So in the meantime, here's a few that I think I may have posted on other threads:

Fountains at the WWII Memorial:

Washington Monument through the cherry trees:

 

[ktulu]

Some I've taken around D/FW (some recent, some not so recent)

Aftermath of our last lunch at The Tomato in Denton before it closed to make way for a new shopping center.

UNT Eagle

Destruction on the I-35E corridor.

Another view (I should crop this, but I'm lazy...)

A place of hope and sorrow.

The angle makes this look like part of the building was photoshopped out.

Fountains out front.

I was going to try and get some shots of downtown Dallas, but my spot I chose to shoot from had powerlines in the way. I'm going to try and get some more shots around town later.

We had a huge rainstorm one night last week, it snowed the Sat. before Easter, then it rained again last night. I haven't had a chance to get back to the area where they are, but I've heard there's nothing left.

Freyja, love your photos. What a beautiful country you've got there.

In Northeast DC, there's a Franciscan Monestary whose grounds and chapel are just beautiful. This is a photo from an outside walkway area:
