As I know I will not have the opportunity to travel and scuba dive in 2021 with the crisis we are facing right now, I feel the need to dig into the images I have on my hard drives, looking for some forgotten pictures that would remind me of better days. French Polynesia always reminds me a lot of nice memories! You have me lusting for travel too, Olivier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Rooney Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 (edited) My British friends may recall Prince Charles voicing his criticism of modern architecture in London spoiling the city's traditional skyline. That was in the '80s. Royals tend to support the status quo. Somebody should. Nowadays, traditional and ultra modern architecture stand side-by-side in UK cities. I've grown to like it. I think it works. And it gives me something interesting to focus on. Edited January 15, 2021 by Ed Rooney 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony ALS Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Think this sums up a cold morning here in Spain during lockdown. You can just make out a hint of frost on the head and nose which we never get normally on the north coast and the barrier tape around this rubbish bin disguised as a bear extends around the closed children's playground. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Rooney Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 A great view of the docks area though, Michael. I can't recall one chilly day in my year in Seville, Tony. And I fondly recall all those lovely days I've spent in Mallorca, Ibiza, and down on the coast of Malaga. my stepbrother owned a bar in Marbella in the '70s. Unfortunately the Spainish bureaucracy did not work out for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First real frost I have seen in nearly 14 years on the coast though. Good riddance Filomena. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one's a Kodachrome from 1979. Nice shot, you've done well to suppress that big pesky white cloud while bringing out the DR in the shadows - I'm guessing there was a fair bit of dodging and burning?

Lori Rider Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Also working through old files--not as old as 1979 though. 😉 This is Breithorn in Switzerland--taken from the passenger seat of the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbimages Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Went to visit a reasonably nearby flying fox camp late last week. It was challenging due to recent rain events and flooding. The mosquitoes nearly carried me off, as I prefer not to use bug spray when trying to get up close and personal with wildlife. This lovely bat posed prettily for me. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
