The Americans and Canadians here are scratching their collective heads. ;)

Amsterdam to Lucerne - 8 hours

Chicago to Boston - 16 hours

Vancouver to Quebec City - 48 long hours

When Sarah and I were planning our UK trip, we were thinking we wouldn't have time to drive from London to the British west coast. I mean it was clear across the country. Then you look at the driving times and it's what we drive when we go to Indianapolis for the day to shop. :D

Awesome pics, though. I'd have to drive 3 days to get anywhere near mountains like that.

Vancouver to Quebec now that would be a good drive.
Brisbane to Perth is only 4350 kms about a 46 hour drive. A lot of desert to cross and doesn't interest me. But Canada. .....mmmm...

John, that shot is absolutely stunning!! That would make a beautiful huge print!

This is a photo of my granddaughter taken a couple days ago. I am still trying to figure out how to apply backgrounds in post and make it look natural! Takes practice I guess!

Thank you, Steve! I've learned the only thing that works with her is bribery! I told her she could play with the doggies only if she let me take some quick photos of her first!

Thanks Denise I didn't feel like trying to fix or alter the flash reflection in the glass. No motivation.
But the tiger is actually a pastel print of one of the tigers at Australia Zoo. It was one of a hundred that were done as a tribute to Steve Irwin. It hangs proudly in the office.

I was supposed to get out into the field this weekend, but I think the midwest ice storm will keep me at bay. Thus, I edited a photo from last fall (and yes, this is the proper orientation of the photo; note the eggs hanging from the ceiling of the cave):

Lovely shot Denise!
Steve I can't believe that is the same as the cute blue eyed cat from a year ago or so...
Dustin, that looks really cool. Never knew they hang their eggs as well.

Well mechanics at my work sometimes drive back and forth in 2 days to Switzerland to do maintance on machines. It's actually about 10h drive from where I live, but never been even close to it. My girlfriend and I haven't decided our destination for this summer yet. We'll see where the weather will bring us.

Scratch it again if you realize the gas price over here is twice as high:o And if you're unlcuky and drive only a little too fast and get flashed... you better not be in the Netherlands or in Switzerland;)
