Weather Today- in Your Vicinity

[Birma]

Love the colours in the sky and the ocean. I can almost smell the tang of the salt air .

[Juanito200]

Great shots all... Greg I like the wedding and FHA shots (Future Hamburgers of Australia) shots.
Bruce- Beautiful sunset shot!
Here is one from the Plano Balloon Festival http://www.planoballoonfest.org/
I took quite a few shots, I will post more later. John

[Birma]

That's a cool perspective John - looking forward to the further shots .

[Greg Beetham]

Yeah thanks DA, that homestead was tha sort of place you'd almost expect to find a shed full of restored tractors...but I didn't go poking around. Someone said it was for sale too, only $2.5M.
Birma...holy moo-trimony, ha ha.

Nice emerald sea Bruce.
Thanks John, yeah 'FHA' alright, that's for sure. Baloons make great photographic subjects don't they? I think it's because of the interesting designs they come up with. I have great reservations about acutally getting in one though...something about the naked flame and the fabric type design gives me the heebiejeebies.

Hi Bruce,

That's one brilliant scene. I love the turquoise translucent water colour and the gentle swelling of the turf as it reaches the sandy shore.
Amazing that there's nobody else but you on the beach to photograph this wonder.

Thanks for sharing. : ))

Birma, I love your creative thinking on the "Holy Moo-trimony !" Been smiling more often after reading that phrase...Thanks!

Thanks for being around and thinking out of the box!


Hi John, : )

There's no end to the lenghts that you go to, isn't there? You're always 'up' somewhere... : ))

Love the eye-patched pirate-head balloon and I think it probably is weird and funny seeing these figure-balloons from a distance, like a cartoon film suspended in midair.

Thanks for sharing,

Yildiz

Bruce, nice photo!

Yildiz, I really like that foggy B&W photo with the bridge peaking out.

Bruce, nice photo!

Yildiz, I really like that foggy B&W photo with the bridge peaking out.

I second that.

[Greg Beetham]

Wowzer that's a fog and a half Yildiz, the shipping in the Bos had better turn on their fog lights I think. Good capture I don't think I've seen one that dense from your window before.

Thank you, Dr. Harout.

Much appreciated indeed!


Thank you, Greg.

I don't think I've seen one that dense from your window before.

You should 'visit' my home more often for that, Greg. We should arrange for free, instant flights so you have an everyday-morning-check-up permit out of my window! I'll get a giant puffy cushion on the floor of my balcony to prevent any painful landing !
We don't want you get any broken bones or bruises just because you wish to see which tricks the weather is upto on the Bosphorus; if the ships have their headlights on and the tiny fishing boats are taking precautions on the Bos' waters and if one girl called Yildiz is awake in time to photograph the changes. Or else!! : )))))

You're always welcome! : )

Ha ha good one Yildiz, I should have realized how it sounded....I'll have to repeat things out loud...the cat used too give me funny looks when I did that though, so I stopped doing it.
Greg

ps. Balcony with fluffy cushions complete with visiting birds, overlooking the Bosphorus....how good is that?

[BruceKingston]

Thank you everyone!

Here's another shot from last weekend to serve two purposes. The first in order to demonstrate that spring has sprung! and the second, and by far most important, in honour of the change in Avatar Yildiz

Thank you, Bruce. This is an honour indeed.

I've got to admit that your dandelion seed head is even more interesting than my Avatar and some of the seeds already travelled away as it appears.

It's good to know that life over there will soon be a colourful spring parade for all of you! Looking forward to Australian flora and fauna photos!

All jokes aside, Greg, you are most welcome, always.

All of you are, for that matter! : ))
