During our visit to Gibraltar, we had a nice tour. At one point, we were looking straight down the rock towards the harbor.

Very impressive wall!

The flamingos feeding in the tidal flats were very interesting.

The reflections in the water are abstract photos themselves.

Under the sun, the salt crystals are formed in these shallow ponds. When enough salt is present, it is scraped up and processed to be sent out of Namibia on the ships seen in the harbor.

Taken on our excursion on the Canal du Midi. We are entering the multiple lock "staircase" near Beziers. The overhead is a brick bridge. There is some construction going on in the left side of the image, hence the fence.

Agate Beach, Oregon, 1918

Robert Swanson has posted:

This is a snapshot from a collection that was generously shared with me. The photos were taken in Agate Beach, Oregon in 1918, when this fellow was in the Army. He was a "Spruce Soldier", the workers who logged the spruce lumber in the Pacific Northwest for the War effort.

To get to the spruce stands, these soldiers created roads and railroads, usually by hand.

Taken during our 1993 cruise along the Thames River. We hired a boat and went from nearly Oxford down to Hampton Court.

We picked up the boat in Datchet. As we left the boatyard, we saw beautiful grounds on the left. Of course, that turned out to be WIndsor Castle (duh). We saw some folks driving a coach and team along that bank as well (photos not so good, so not posted).

The setting is just lovely.

It was a lovely spring.

These photos were scanned from prints (we apologize for the quality).
