Cynthetiq · 08-04-2008, 07:18 AM

Salzburg in October.

This is the garden where the kids are dancing and singing in Sound of Music.

Manic_Skafe · 08-04-2008, 08:48 AM

Are these monthly? If so, I call first dibbs on next months challenge.

Shot these while driving down to South Carolina this summer:

Note the giant hamburgers.

Found this inside the shop.

StanT · 08-04-2008, 09:41 AM

No vacation for me this year, side effect of getting a new puppy.

2 shots from opposite sides of the globe.

Doubtful Sound, New Zealand

The Matterhorn

The only real vacation I've taken in my adult life...St. Thomas, Virgin Islands. Sequestered in my room with a severe allergic reaction to penicillin. We had a nice view, though.

Yeah.... we're not exactly proud of that...

Meditrina · 08-04-2008, 10:15 AM

cool. A challenge I can participate in! We visited my parents in Hendersonville, North Carolina. My parents say it's the home of Carl Sandberg (they could be wrong), who liked goats. So they had these goats on the sidewalk, after awhile they auction them off and donate the money to a local charity.

Tully Mars · 08-04-2008, 10:25 AM

From the Royal Mayan (Cancun) taken back in Jan. Taken at sunrise. Don't think you can really see them but in the center-left they're two young drunk girls trying to find they way back to their rooms. Still in their swim suits and covered in sand.

I'm going with...

They're building a "Flintstones" theme park and that's Dino.

dlish · 08-04-2008, 11:16 AM

oh so fucking close.

you missed it by about the size of dino

dogzilla · 08-04-2008, 06:32 PM

This was the first day of my vacation at the Grand Canyon a couple years ago. I'd hiked a mile or so down the Bright Angel trail and got caught in a nasty thunderstorm. Cold rain, hail, lightning. Fortunately, I found a rock overhang to hide out under during the worst of the rain.

Nice shot. One of my favorites beaches anywhere. Parking is costly but worth it.

bobby · 08-05-2008, 05:36 AM

4 more from my Belize adventure......

Cernunnos · 08-05-2008, 12:05 PM

These three are from the Great Smoky Mountains region in Tennessee, the Gatlinburg area.

No doubt about it. All the way from the light house beach to the very tip of Captiva!

Here's another shot of some pals I met out there......

I've had the pleasure of being there at Christmas time twice. They do a nice job of lighting the place up. Kind of surreal seeing Santa's Village and Christmas tree stands in the warm Florida sun. They got everything but snow.

This and the Keys are some of my favorite Florida spots. If you take the "Cat" you can get from one spot to the other in about 3 1/2 hours.

I saw that while driving up to the Outer Banks last week. The billboard advertising along the highway was hysterical. We didn't stop.

abaya · 08-08-2008, 07:08 AM

Here are some of my favorite shots from our weekend trip around the West Fjords of Iceland (24 hours of driving on shitty dirt roads, but so worth it). Ktspktsp gets credit for the puffin shot...

dlish · 08-08-2008, 11:41 AM

great shots abaya! wow im really impressed!

she-lish missed out.. i think she would have loved iceland..but istanbul was still excellent without doubt.

abaya · 08-08-2008, 01:01 PM

Thanks, dlish.

Any traveling is good, no matter the destination! But you're always welcome to stop by Iceland, as long as we're here.

Halx · 08-09-2008, 05:25 AM

From my recent trip to Mexico...

jewels · 08-09-2008, 05:35 AM

Is that you flying with the birds?

Cynthetiq · 08-09-2008, 09:54 AM

damn... I remember being at the place where the cliff divers were in Mazatlan back in 86.... jeez!

Fotzlid · 08-09-2008, 10:56 AM

edit: forgot... I can't seem to upload pics...sorry.

blahblah454 · 08-12-2008, 05:04 PM

Cool pics, makes me want to take a nice tropical vacation.

Abaya: That puffin is cool! I have never seen one before (other than in cartoons), what a neat looking bird.

noodle · 08-12-2008, 06:55 PM

2004 trip to San Francisco...

and part of our trip to New York over the weekend....

paddyjoe · 08-13-2008, 03:52 AM

cool bendy building in S.F., noodle!

here's a shot I found off an old desert road near Las Vegas........

Leto · 08-13-2008, 04:19 AM

this is a great idea. I'm going to find my photos of Ottawa from last week!

mirevolver · 08-14-2008, 09:49 AM

From my trip to Portugal in May.

The southwestern most tip of Europe.

On Lisbon's Waterfront

abaya · 08-14-2008, 10:20 AM

mirevolver, good to see you here again!

I like your pic of the southwesternmost tip of Europe... funny, we were just at Iceland's "famous" westernmost (and northwesternmost) tip of Europe, though I doubt anyone else in Europe agrees...

bobby · 08-14-2008, 12:18 PM

..........missed us by 70 miles,just some wind and rain!

Tully Mars · 08-14-2008, 12:33 PM

Me too. In my best Maxwell Smart... "Missed me by that much."

Ayashe · 08-19-2008, 09:57 PM

Some times the best part of a vacation is coming home. This was on my way home from Washington driving through Montana.

In no way do I claim to be much of a photographer, but I thought these not so shabby from my old camera as I was driving. 1700 miles had to keep myself occupied somehow, not so much traffic for me during my drive time.

Fotzlid · 08-20-2008, 09:34 PM

I have a better version of this but Picassa won't recognize the format.
