Santana2002 Forum Champion Registered: Mon Apr 14 2003 Posts: 8867 Loc: France	Oh I've got lots more from Paris Unfortunately an awful lot of them are of the various members of the Paris and District pipe band, so I can't use them on the forum I'll start the ball rolling for this Holiday theme with a shot of a modern, space-y type 'statue'. There were a dozen of these in a circle around one of the fountains in the Jardins des Tulleries outside the Louvre. Needless to say they were a great hit with the boys! _________________________ It's hard to be perfect when you're human

Beautiful shot, looks like it was taken close to the golden hour - with an hour of sunrise or sunset, the best time to photograph scenics. I just checked - it was about 10.30 am! There had been a slight shower and the sun was a little watery, so perhaps that gives a similar effect. _________________________ "If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there."

Ah - the relatively low angle of the sun is what does it, making objects seem more three-dimensional and adding an overall sense of depth to the whole image.

Copago the village is still there you could visit it on a holiday, Sadly you will no longer see what attracted me to the place, they banned the highland cattle from roaming the streets due to what cows do naturally. Tourism has suffered apparently and the grass that the Catle kept down is getting tall and there are no funds for a grass cutter. _________________________ Would I do it again? of course i would darling.

Copago Moderator Registered: Tue May 15 2001 Posts: 14384 Loc: Australia	LOL .. okay, it's 5:50AM and I just read your post, Professor, thinking you were talking about the Angkor photo. It took full seconds to realise that highland cattle just really wouldn't be wandering around Cambodia and that Scotland would be a more natural spot for them... Be gentle .. it's early!

satguru Forum Champion Registered: Thu Feb 17 2000 Posts: 8090 Loc: Kingsbury London UK	This was my home for 2 weeks in September 1974. It's the SS Uganda, leaving Liverpool to visit Spain, Gibraltar and Morocco. I've resized it twice but can't seem to reduce the image it shows here. I can use a different site for saving it if necessary. Edited by satguru (Tue Oct 27 2009 01:28 PM)

This was a picture I took when I was in Naples, Italy last year. _________________________ ~ Lizzie
