Yeah I visited Kunming and Dali in the far south/south-west of China, but I don't have digital pictures from that trip though. I didn't travel alone though

Here's a few more from the 06'-trip

Very nice shots, CH!

[Jonathan]

Thanks GW, I agree

But I think Coffeehouse should have the credit for them

[Tessar]

Nonsense. We insist you take full credit .

Coffeehouse, I love your first and fourth pictures especially (the one of people in boats).

Grey_Wolf, your pictures are great! I'm impressed since tallships are difficult to photograph sometimes. They are hard to frame since they are so large.

Your first photo of the entire ship and your second-last of the stern of the ship are my favourites. Very nicely done. What a gorgeous ship, painted in find Swedish colours too.

[Grey_Wolf]

Thanks, Nurv! Indeed its a gorgeous ship!!

[Nerdanel]

Nice photos, GW! And a cool ship..

Here's a few more photos from my hiking trip to Kebnekaise, Sweden..


On the way to the peak of Kebnekaise, you climb another peak as well. This is taken from up there.


Dad.


The last morning, at sunrise.


The Kekkonen peak in the Tarfala valley - Kekkonen was a Finnish president, and the peak got named after him because he went there when it didn't have a name.. X) This is from the day I went on a daytrip alone. Great stuff. 8)

You know, Grey Wolf, jeg lurer på om jeg så det skipet da jeg var i Göteborg nå i sommer Kan det passe at det lå ved kaien rundt 18. august ca.? Var nemlig på konsert i Trädgårdsparken da og da jeg gikk fra togstasjonen så syntes jeg å huske at det lå et svært, tre-masters skip bortenfor ved kaien. Var kanskje den Bra snapshots!

[Grey_Wolf]

Fina bilder! och tack för kommentaren på mina.

Mycket möjligt, Ch! Jag såg det som sagt i hbg förra veckan.

Första ggn jag såg det var det inte färdigt - såg mest ut som ett valskellett.

These are the very last photo's I could take of Jinx. He hardly looked sick, except for his asymmetrical eyes.


These, as contrast, are the first photo's of Tyrfing, the three-month-old kitten we've just adopted.

[Nurvingiel]

Eärniel I really like the first picture of Jinx.

Young Tyrfing looks just like my cat. Is he a Russian Blue? Mine is a Russia Blue/Tabby mix but the Russian Blue characteristics are dominant. The only hints she's not full Russian Blue are faint stripes in her fur and mostly pink gums (Russian Blue's have grey gums).

Anyway the top picture of him is also very good. He looks so cute.

Cats are hard to photograph since they don't "do" sit or stay.

[Mari]

Eärn, that last picture made me laugh. ^_^
Little beauties those kitties. Both of them.

No, Tyrfing is a black european short-hair, street cat pedigree. he's just a little shiny in sunlight. I doubt Russian Blues would stay in shelters long, they're sooo beautiful, one of my favourite cat races. But I've had black cats for over 15 years, it's hard to break the tradition. Your cat sounds beautiful, what is her name?

Haha, tell me about it. I had to throw out over half of Tyrfing's pictures because he constantly moved.

Looks like a little gremlin hiding under the bookcase, doesn't it? I thought it was cute too. He didn't like moving the first day, so he kept hiding under everything, coming out again covered in dust and cobwebs. Useful little fellow.

[Grey_Wolf]

Nice pics of ur old cat. and nice ones too of the kitten.

The cool insect I found while hiking. It was 11 degrees Celsius and about 1000 m above sea level. I've never seen this insect before..


Fall is arriving - we didn't get the autumn colours properly, but it was beginning to show..


The typical birch forest of the lower mountain region. The sun in combination with thin clouds and the green forest made the air look strange..


The Tarfala river.

Sorry if I'm posting something twice, I'm a bit confused atm.. X)

[Mari]

No double posting that I noticed. The foresty one is beautiful. More wallpaper material.
The bug looks like it is a hopper of some kind. Like what you'd feed a snake.
