That's a most beautiful landscape. Way back in my folkie days I used to attend the annual Beers Family Fox Hollow Folk Festival in upstate New York. I once stayed after the end to help Bob Beers clean up the festival grounds located on his farm. He then drove me to the Hudson River where we boarded Pete Seeger's sloop, the Clearwater, where I met Pete and his wife Toshi. Your image reminded me of that occasion.
Thanks.
Here is a shot from where the Hudson is not so wide
Looks a little out of kilter
No problem if the fishing is good.
That's a nice photo.
I love ripples and mountains and trees... and rocks, can't forget those rocks!
Awesome panoramic shot!
Thank you.
Sunset on the great Yellow River, China.

I like that photo.
Thanks. I took it at least 10 years ago when we were living in Zhengzhou, Henan Province. The Yellow River was not far from where we lived..
Evening..
My tea for tonight..
One large pizza with the lot..
Absolute ripper..😁
Good thing I saw that just AFTER I finished my dinner.
bloody hell, that looks like a dog's breakfast ...
Yummy!
ugh, don't encourage her ...
that's what happens when you spread vegemite on pita and leave it out overnight ...
Morning..we actually have Vegemite pizzas...
And guess who makes them??
You mob, Domino's..🤣
now that's truly a dog's breakfast ...
Pssst....you wouldn't know a good dogs brekkie if it bit you..🐨
bloody hell, you've gone troppo on us ...
You know what goes best with a Vegemite pizza - a Burnt Weeny Sandwich.
Evening...sigh where on earth did you mob go so wrong?..no wonder your country is cactus..
Cocktail Frankfurts is the correct name, weenies?? Really..🤣
Our snags with tomato sauce in fresh white bread will beat a crappy old weenie any day..
So uncivilised over there..🙄
ketchup on a hot dog is blasphemy ...
Morning... Bbq sausage and tomato sauce on bread is heaven..
We don't have Ketchup that's heathen....🙄
Nice sky shots. Can you tell us about the third photo?
The first shot is of Lake Superior from Brighton Beach in Duluth, MN. The figure in the rain is my wife's nephew.
The second is from Canal Park in Duluth, MN of summer sailboat races as storm clouds are rolling across the lake during the early evening.
The last shot is from Canal Park in Duluth, MN of an is old concrete pier that has since broken and what's called Uncle Harvey's Mausoleum, or The Cribs. It was a sand and gravel hopper for unloading barges, built in 1919 by local businessman Harvey Whitney. It cost millions of dollars back then and constantly damaged by ships pushed into it by storms and waves. It was abandoned only a couple of years later in 1922.
All three are amazing, especially the clouds in the first two and the eerie setting of the third one.

Wonderful! Beautiful job.
You're really into butterflies.
LOL, expect more to come!
The more the better - after all, they're endangered.
Arvo Pink...
That is really stunning..you have a great talent..
Thank you!

Nice!
A confluence of 2 rivers (one muddy, the other clear) at the city of Leshan, with the Giant Buddha of Leshan behind me.
That's interesting. What is the cause of that?
I don't know how one of the rivers got muddy, but they met at that point and flowed on as one slightly muddy river. "confluence" is defined as the junction of two rivers, especially rivers of approximately equal width:
It also happens in Chongqing, where the Jialing River and Yangze River meet. This image is from the internet.
Some photos from a nature walk.
It has been so long since I have been to a verdant place, your wonderful images actually caused a very comforting sensation from looking at them.
Nice area. Is that a walk from where you live?
Yep, walked there from my house. This orb followed me around too.
You live in a really beautiful area.
What's its name?
What do you mean by "orb"? My vision is waning and I can't see anything but trees, grass, road and maybe a fence or stone wall on the left.
That's a great compliment coming from a person who has a back yard and view like yours.
Morning Hal..yes it's hard to beat the bush and the sea for nature..
Love that damp earthy smell and the shade of the trees on a hot day..
Always reminds me of my grandparents house in the Dandenongs down Melbourne soon as I smell it takes me back there...I miss that now...
the descendants of criminals developing their own languages ...
Not exactly. I thought Dandenong might have an aboriginal origin so I looked it up to determine the origin of the word a few minutes ago just before you posted your comment and found:
Huh descendants of convicts..🤣🤣..ahh the irony..
Funny seeing you had 50,000 of them running around over there well before we did..it only stopped after your bun fight with the Brits..
And look what happened to your language??..can't even spell properly..let alone pronounce it correctly...🤣🤣
You are spot on G..
The Dandenongs just outside Melbourne..
Not my photos..
Beautiful location. Do you go there often?
Arvo G...no unfortunately not, as it's 6 hours drive 450ks away from where I live..
Yes it is a beautiful location but one of the biggest bushfire traps out as it all eculyptus trees, thick bush and tree ferns..
A steam train called puffing Billy runs through there as well...
That's far. I guess you don't live near Melbourne.
Ahh nope...has it's advantages at times though..🐨
it was a shorter boat ride for us, otherwise we'd all be as troppo as the free range shark bait and billibong swimmers in oz.
6 hours to go 450K? don't they build cars in oz that can go faster than 75kph? too many roos on the road? bloody hell ...
Arvo..5 hours to reach Melbourne from here then an hour or so to the Dandenongs..
Speed limit is 100ks, but have to slow down for towns etc and Melbourne is one big carpark these days..
Good place to avoid at all costs if possible...nice place to visit but wouldn't like to stay..😬
The roads in the Dandenongs are some what twisty and winding..🤢
I know you are located near the ocean, but in what area in Australia? Have you been to the Twelve Apostles?
Evening...yes I Iive in the State of Victoria..the 12 apostles are about two hours drive away from me..
Just down the road..
It was a bad joke. I had to move around to get just the right angle for the sun to burst through a tiny opening in the trees. Then I looked at the photo and it reminded me of the UAP claims people make about orbs in their photos.
where do most of the people that would be considered normal live in oz?
Nice train
The Emerald City.
why hasn't she shown us any pictures of her flying monkeys?
They're an Australian delicacy. Fried flying monkeys and Vegemite. A feast.
I guess to be fair I have keep this article open long enough for shona to defend her national honor.
what, no carbs?
she'll be here in a few, and there can't be that much to defend ...
Morning..yawn...geez you still flapping your gums thought you would have croaked it by now..
We live along the coast, sun, sand and surf..the good life..oh wait did you mob say you get snowed in part of the year?
Who would want to go into the Outback and fry in 45 degree heat?..we leave that to the tourists...and manage to lose a few along the way...we look at it less is best..
We particularly like ones that talk funny, can't spell, drive on the wrong side of the road and are 16 hours behind us...and they are forever bringing up the rear..😁
Just the way we like it..🦘
Now brekkie, Vegemite on toast, Vegemite on muffins, Vegemite on crumpets......
Flying monkey? Have to enlighten me on that one...
Oz. As in Wizard of...
Since you guys are still engaged in witty repartee, we will keep this article open for a few more hours.
Closing up for now. Thanks everyone. Shona more than succesfully defended her national honor, so we can say: See ya in a few days!
