There are some nice pictures there... is anyone else going to submit a pic?

I will when I can get a decent one. I thought I had picked a good subject, but the competition is so high that it has become difficult. I wish I was going on holiday to Africa.

Dunno about Africa, mine was taken on Thurstaston beach.   :huh:

Mine was taken off our balcony in Fuengirola, Costa del Crime ;)

Cheap package tours to here andsome ;)

The problem is that 'Er indoors has become more and more scared of flying over the years, and refuses to even consider it these days. She keeps suggesting that I can always go abroad by myself, but I don't really fancy that. I would be scared stiff of all the young half naked dolly birds on the beach trying to take advantage of me. I would also dearly love to visit Verona and watch a couple of operas in the Roman amphitheatre.

Have you considered taking the train?

Half the holiday has gone by the time you get there. I am still working on her, trying to persuade her to try hypnosis again. She has tried multiple brandies and only made herself feel ill. She has also tried Valium, with no effect whatsoever.

Just tell her it could be worse, you could be under the plane when it emergency landed on the motorway :D

The only slow bit of the train is through England.

There is a great beach near us full of posers, all sixpacks and boobs, you would be in your glory, apart from the chillout music played there.

We always did enjoy being on the beach, but always a quiet one NEVER with radios. We would walk for miles to avoid them. I always think that people who use radios on the beach without a private earphone are being VERY anti social. Why do they have to have loud objectionable type noise blaring out, why can't they just relax and have a bit of peace and quiet. Anyway, we are way off topic now.

You have mail (PM) Rebel. :D

This picture was taken by me in August, 2002 at Leamington Marina in Canada using a point and shoot 35 mm camera. I scanned the picture into my computer today and did a bit a resizing as the original picture was printed at 4.75" x 3.33", or it may have been cropped by my wife to fit a small magnetic frame we have on the fridge.

The scan is not the best quality but probably the best sky picture I have.

The boat (just the edge of it showing) on the bottom right is mine. The boat in front of that is my friends, a 1958 26 foot Lyman hardtop. :) Boating vacations at Leamington Marina were some of the best times we ever had. We travelled up there annually.

ATTACHED is a picture of the kids (our daughter and also our son in the light blue baseball cap at the right....the other 2 are our friend's boys) some 6 years ago in Leamington. It is (according to the town) the tomato capital of the world, thus the figures in the middle of town. We took pictures of the kids standing in the same place for our 6 or so years of boating up to Leamington...very fond memories of the place. :)

Sorry for the long post....the picture(s) brought back great memories. :blush:

Come on people! What's so hard about 'sky' - especially you Andsome - it was your choice of subjest.

That's a very 'arty' sky Alan. :)

I know, and it has proved more difficult that I imagined. My eyes have been cast toward the heavens every day, and I have remained uninspired to date.
