tellywellies Forum Champion Registered: Sat Apr 13 2002 Posts: 5473 Loc: South of England	Welcome to the October photo thread. The September thread will be left open for a while to allow for World time zones. It will close it once it is October 1st for everyone. Post in either thread (but not both) until then. Keep the good photos coming. If anyone needs information on how to post photos, it can be found in the 'Photo posting guide' located at the top of the forum. _________________________ Error: Keyboard not attached.

MotherGoose Forum Champion Registered: Mon Apr 22 2002 Posts: 5007 Loc: Western Australia	This photo is especially for Yaarbiriah who loves birds. This is Vinnie, my friend Margy's sulphur-crested cockatoo. Vinnie is an excellent mimic, has a good vocabulary and loves attention. He likes a scratch on the head and he won't bite unless you do something stupid like try to scratch under his beak. P.S. TW, we have one of those rock balls in the centre of Perth too. Next time I am in the city, I'll try to remember to get a photo of it. _________________________ Don't say "I can't" ... say " I haven't learned how, yet." (Reg Bolton)

Besides his wonderful vocabulary, he had all different kinds of cat sounds -- gentle meow, halloween screech -- he sounded better than the cat! He also coughed politely by bringing one leg up to cover his beak. The first time he ever did that I thought he was dying. He must have been copying his previous owner. Here is another pic I took over the weekend.

This goose on a log in the nearby Lea Valley regional park didn't mind though, and I liked the light reflections on the water.

I took a photo of the Loch Ness Monster!! Ok, no, it's just a humpback whale that we spotted on a visit to the Channel Islands this past March (the US Channel Islands, Sue, off the coast of California ) This whale had a great time playing with a strand of kelp, and we got to watch him for a long time.

argus9 Mainstay Registered: Thu Sep 30 1999 Posts: 856 Loc: Winnipeg Manitoba Canada	Great photos everyone. We finally went for our drive to the countryside. We were hoping to go several weeks ago but it has been cool and damp. This is a photo of the Pembina Valley area. We were hoping for better fall colors but being several weeks late the best has past. We don't really get vivid colors here at the best of times. Our window of opportunity is very small. Different shot and larger _________________________ Weaseling out of things is important to learn.

I finally got a pink sky when I was in the carpark on my way to my photography class. Edited to correct typo - I was in too much of a hurry to post.

On the left is the 'Big Red building on Golders Green Road', the discount Gold's clothing shop, once the Big Red building in Petticoat Lane where they sold leather jackets. The train goes across the bridge to Golders Green and Brent Cross at each end and the station itself is at the far end of the road beyond it. _________________________ Does the brain create or receive consciousness?

This is about half of the first shopping mall in the UK, built on a sewage farm in 1976. I don't know what happened to the sewage since, maybe someone will find out. Sue, I wonder if anyone heading for those Channel Islands has ended up on yours or vice versa? It's not totally impossible. _________________________ Does the brain create or receive consciousness?

It's not totally impossible. It certainly isn't, a former colleague of mine visited a local travel agent to book a long week-end in Blackpool, and came out with a 3 week trip on the Trans-Siberian railway This colourful building in Hertford, our county town, has nothing to do with the church just behind it. It's a Georgian house now converted into apartments - so still a house after 200 years!

argus9 Mainstay Registered: Thu Sep 30 1999 Posts: 856 Loc: Winnipeg Manitoba Canada	This is a different shot of the Pembina Valley. I stopped at the side of the road that leads down into the valley. Up to this point the landscape was as flat as prairie can be, then suddenly you're looking at this beautiful valley.

TabbyTom Moderator Registered: Wed Oct 17 2001 Posts: 8479 Loc: Hastings Sussex England UK	What a beautiful sunrise, peggy5. So that's where Gold's have gone, satguru. I remember the Petticoat Lane building well, and the LBC commercials. The Blackfriars area of London seems to get uglier with every bit of redevelopment, but I'm glad to see that the Black Friar pub survives. There's a lot of much nicer art nouveau decoration inside; but I got there before opening time and had other places to get to. _________________________ Dilige et quod vis fac

Lucky you, that's a very nice part of the world. I lived in Ossulton Way for most of my earlier life and had I the cash would be back in that area in seconds. Tom, you must listen to LBC again by one of the other methods now you've moved. Besides hearing me call in regularly they still sing the same song with its new location although not nearly as often as Goldrange did. And they only sing the catchphrase bit now rather than the whole tune which is a shame. _________________________ Does the brain create or receive consciousness?

peggy5 Explorer Registered: Sun Jul 08 2007 Posts: 67 Loc: New Zealand	Ok last one of the Kepler Track. We spent a few hours walking on ridges like this one. That's my Mum walking ahead. the snow was frozen and sliperly so we had to go slow but it was such a beautiful day we didn't mind. the other two days we walked through the bush. Links to other photos of the Track if you wish to look. You can see we are up in the sunshine while the valleys were in the fog all day http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d37/LLina/Kepler%20Track/walking.jpg http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d37/LLina/Kepler%20Track/sun.jpg http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d37/LLina/Kepler%20Track/bbb.jpg http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d37/LLina/Kepler%20Track/track.jpg

spanishliz Champion Poster Registered: Thu Dec 13 2001 Posts: 23115 Loc: Ontario Canada	This is the Sam the Record Man sign on Yonge Street in Toronto, recently saved from extinction when the original store (opened in 1961) finally closed. There was a public outcry when it became known that the owners were selling off everything (including the sign) with the result that the city had the place designated a 'heritage site', meaning that the sign can't be moved or destroyed. The pic's a bit fuzzy, as I was being jostled by the crowds. Yonge Street is a zoo!
