Re: Namibia

Sury, DA and Birma Thank you for your comments. A friend of mine mentioned that safari through the dunes of Namibia is far more rewarding than the regular safaris. Any thoughts?

World Traveller

It seems to have been a long time since any posts appeared here. One from Venice on the ferry to the island of Murano last week. I thought I travelled with a great deal of gear when out and about but this gentleman eclipsed me. You can't see his large back pack or the tripod he was carrying World Tr...

Re: Let's post some panoramas

Andy, Sury and Henry Thank you for your comments Henry By the way, last year I posted one in this thread of a different view of Budapest that also includes the same Hungarian Parliament Building.

Re: Let's post some panoramas

Not had much success with panoramas but during a recent river cruise from Budapest to Amsterdam I thought I would give it another try and here is the result.

Peter, Love both images but the second one is my favourite. Here is an image I took several years ago in France. I have always liked it but have been in two minds as to whether to crop out the young lady on the left or not but finally decided to leave her in. I hope that as this image was not taken ...

Great shots! Machu Picchu is on my bucket list and your images just add to my enthusiasm to visit it and the country. Not been to South or Central America and hope to do so in the not too distant future.

Thanks for posting
