  • @Pacman Bad luck you missed out on the taxi run, might pay to take a pair of earmuffs when you do get the chance. I'm uploading some pix of another great oldie, the Lockheed Constellation. This particular one (aptly named "Connie") was lovingly restored by a volunteer aviation group and arrived at a nearby Air Force base as part of money… Read more

    • Nice post , Bob – examples  of classic  aircraft and what so many dedicated volunteers can achieve in restoring and maintaining these Big Birds.   Thank you.

  • Up until recently we used to frequently go bush camping and have thrown together some pix. I have added comments to each individual image, hope you enjoy.

    Just watched the travelogue on Jersey, what a fantastic island. Beautiful beaches, crystal clear water, magnificent historical sights and museums and the produce in those markets! Thank you so much for sharing.

  • OOps! wrong photo, trust me this often happens, hopefully correct photo this time…

    I was quite taken by the Ghandi quote in your profile “and for a time can seem invincible. But in the end they always fall.” If ever the world needed proof of that I’m posting a photo of some graffiti painted onto the Berlin Wall and it’s literal English translation…

    • Most of us, at some time in our life, suffer a moment of madness and do something that we have never done before and in all probability will never do again. Such a moment came my way in the year 2000 when I was 56. I was invited to ride a penny farthing bike through the High Street Mall of where I live. I have always looked on in awe as…

      Hi Jim – Just wanted to thank you posting the beautiful rendition of Amazing Grace by the Celtic Women, I listened in awe to their melodic voices singing a tune which is one of my favourites. I then double dipped and listened to them singing “O Holy Night” which was just as melodic and inspiring. Will keep that URL handy and any time…

      • Thank you Bob, yes a truly inspirational song. Sky TV often feature Celtic Woman concerts – the Christmas ones are particularly good.

      • Happened to be chatting about snakes with other members of the Photo Group earlier today and it reminded me of an email I received some time ago. This Aussie viper had the misfortune to get caught under a single strand electric fence, almost certainly as a result of a bulging stomach after having eaten an animal. The intermittent bursts of…
