I had just staggered out of this bar in the north of Scotland and managed to hold the camera still for long enough to take this rather nice picture.

Me visited this little cottage where Elgar was born.

Inside were his favourite set of golf clubs which was of considerable interest (not)

I've got to get out of The Lone Star State.

[michel dvorsky]

Some nice art in the thread...keep it coming!

[thalbergmad]

Dougs often sits on my desk at work, which the people i work with find rather strange.

Thal

[thalbergmad]

This is what the Scottish Highways Agency calls a road.

Did not even get out of 3rd gear, but pleasant drive.

Thal

[thalbergmad]

A better Scottish road.

Almost reached 160 before i ran out of nuts.

I rounded up my ex girlfriends and took this picture.

I do think that the Elgar Birthplace Trust and the other organisations that have helped to preserve aspects of his memory that actually matter have done as decent a job as anyone might reasonably hope for, don't you? (I've visited that pace too, as you may be unsurprised to find)...

Best,

Thal

160 what? And how many nuts more than two did you have out of which to run in the first place (if you see what I mean)?

Nice piece of photography, though - and one would surely never mistake this Harris (or indeed the nearby Lewis) for anything Welsh, their names notwithstanding...

Best,

Alistair

Yes, they have done a good job, I was being my normal stupid self.

Did you buy one of the "I'm an Enigma" T shirts?

Yeh, i would not mistake this for Harris or Lewis either, coz it was Skye.

Thanks for that information - but why, in that case, does the URL for your photo read
?

No particular need to answer that...

Best,

Difficult one that, but i would say it is because i had to dirve through it to get to the ferry.

Thal

Normal and stupid simultaneously? Thal, I always knew you were a man of many talents and you do nothing to disabuse me of this suspicion now!...

Did you buy one of the "I'm an Enigma" T shirts?

They didn't have them when I visited and I'd not have bought one if they had; I did want to buy one emblazoned with
"I've heard
The Third"
but they'd sold out of them - what a Payne...

Best,

Alistair

OK, but I hope that you didn't dirve too fsat...

Have you tried the online shop?

[ahinton]

Have you tried the online shop?

No, I haven't - and if they've really started to market silly T-shirts of that nature, I'll try not to try it, thanks...

Best,

some of my horrible drawings.

[jlh]

Capital Records tower in the back... notice the condo construction next to it... There's a city council debate happening now because the project as planned would have a detrimental effect on the renowned Les Paul designed echo chambers at the studio...



Guess where?  Drove around Hollywood hills until we found this spot very close to the sign..




$103 fine for hiking to the sign?  Sounds like a reasonable admission fee... let's do it!

[retrouvailles]

Not another Hollywood tourist...

Nothing personal, but these are the people that piss me off when I'm driving through downtown.

some of my horrible drawings.

can you possibly enlarge them? thx

haha that's why we exist... just to piss you off...

seriously though, that wasn't my first trip to LA, and in fact that city wasn't our destination, but on the drive home after our cruise to mexico we had to have a look around. 

cruise pics anyone?

Hey, does George Clooney live in your house, retro?  I'm pretty sure he does because I've just listed your address in a 'celebrity house tour' guide.

On our way to the shore at Catalina Island... our ship in the back.



If you look to the left you can see some pelicans on their "snow mountain".  Riiiight... no freakin way that's snow.



Here's a good place to spend a few hours while on shore in Mexico.



Here's what started it all:

[general disarray]

Well, for cryin' out loud, isn't anyone here gonna congratulate Josh?

Okay, I will:  CONGRATULATIONS, JOSH!  Here's a congratulatory toast:

"May the wind be at your back, the water just under your flip flops, the sun setting behind the Hollywood Hills, the underwear NOT in your sock drawer, and the spirt of Horowitz forever at your fingertips!"

Hip hip hooray!

(nice photos -- love Catalina Island.  any shots?)

Nice pics. Better than I could ever take! Even though some of these are everyday sights for me as an Angelino, they look pretty damn good.

[jlh]

no it's just a normal photo

as for the road in death valley.  there aren't cameras, but there ARE cops!  and I got a bad speeding ticket!!!!   they don't like it when you go 120 in death valley!  hahaha
