bluesapphire Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Hi guys, from long time i was planning to create this thread, but somehow it was postponed but finally i am creating one. Well here i am talking about the pictures snapped by we members of anything other than Automobiles like Nature, Landscapes, Monuments, Pics from your past trips or anything you find interesting but please post only if they are snapped by you and not from internet websites. I just love the 'Blues & Greens' of nature like mountains, water, sky, etc and thus i am posting some pics snapped by me. The following pics are from South Africa when i visited the beautiful country in November 2008. Most of the pics are of Capetown and i just loved the city for its nature, the Blue water, Green mountains and cleanliness was just awesome. From the cities i have visited so far, i found Capetown best. >> > var page_note_ratio = 1; > Y.E.onDOMReady(show_notes_initially); >> > var page_note_ratio = 1; > Y.E.onDOMReady(show_notes_initially); bluesapphire2009-12-11 10:27:42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimgeo Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 Nice snaps dude. How is the weather there? Planning to go there for my next holidays. Â jimgeo2009-12-15 13:58:12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesapphire Posted December 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 Well when we went there i.e in November mid in the year 2008, the weather was moderate, sometimes it was rainy while sometimes it cool or even chill but that was in Capetown and Garden Route(Knysna, oudtshoorn) but in Suncity and Johannesburg it was hot and AC was needed. As thats completely different area than Capetown, that part is more modern and less natural. You will love Capetown, but overall South Africa is more like Australia(your profile says you live in perth), but its more beautiful and natural. Dont miss the wild life safari and prefer Mabula Game Lodge, i was there for Game drives for 3nights and it was very good also its owned by liquor baron Dr. Vijay Mallya, when i came to know that(on the last day that is) i was even more excited. For any more info, feel free to ask me, can get in more detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluesapphire Posted December 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Through imageshack or photobucket Just upload there and get the images resized to 640*480 and then use the direct link of images and post the link here between IMG tags. bluesapphire2009-12-16 09:01:07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottish Countryside Ducks at Loch Lamond Somewhere between Cardiff and London Loch Lamond M4 Edinburgh Castle Parking Sterling Castle Great Hall - Notice the roof has no beams or pillars as supports and its a massive hall!! Torchwood Fountain - Cardiff Bay (notice the Millennium Center Under Construction in 2003) Welsh Countryside Relief of Lucknow - Outside Sterling Castle - it also has a mention of the boys of La Martiniere who protected the families during Indian raid of the Residency at Lucknow. I have some more interesting pix but there are even more interesting people in them so cant post them here...esp. of the welsh countryside (which is simply breathtaking) and people (welsh women are said to be the most beautiful lot in the world!!)
