I was showing my brother today how I can scan slides with my scanner and this is one that we experimented with...

An interesting site about this railway

Oh I like these, they show what was a very long time ago, but only the items of man have aged. The items of God are all still as they were in the old pictures.

What a lovely view!  Carol

More great photos, Pat!  I agree with you, in that I like going places where things are still natural, and not covered with trash and tourist traps.  We have been to some pretty primitive places, but we like them!

Pat ~ I love the photo's, of course I love anything mechanical! The view is spectacular also. I haven't mentioned it before, but my Grand - dad on my mothers side's family migrated to the United States from Wales. He use to tell me about how his family was descended from Bartholomew and after a fight within the family left England and went to Wales and took up the banner of the Fighting Cock and from that became known as the Babcock's! I wish I had recorded all he told me because I have forgotten so much! I do know his father had read the Bible through many- many times and lived to be in his 80's which was a feat in itself in the early days of the 20th century. Grand-dad only lived to 67, but had a drinking problem that shortened his life.

Spectacular scenery.  I would much rather go on a vacation full of scenery than one full of buildings and people.  I have been in places out west that I wonder if there has ever been anyone else standing where I was standing and if so, who was it?  I have been where if you screamed, no one would hear you.  

Those are very interesting photos Pat.  What time of year were these taken.  I would love to hiking over there.  do they have wild animals or snakes you have to worry about when hiking?  

Hi Sonja...

No we've never been bothered by any snakes or wild animals while hiking over there...maybe just the odd bull in a field!  HAHAHAHA!

Thanks Jerry...  That is an interesting railway.

I just love it over there.

Snowdon

Wainwright[famous walker in the UK] once wrote only the valleys change the mountains stay the same for ever.

I took the lazy route long ago to the top of snowdon my son was very young and even now he is not into backpacking.

Bulls!  I asked the farmer about the bull in the field he will not harm you he told me.  I kept my eye on him crossed into the next field and this sheep charged me with horns down.  No laughing please this is serious stuff here!

Really nice photos Pat.

What beautiful scenery!  

HAHAHA! Alan, that's so funny about the bulls and the sheep!  We've been in fields sometimes on hikes where we were a bit leary about the sheep as well.

Glad you liked the photos, Alan and Jen. It sure is wonderful country!

Tsk, tsk, Pat.  He told you not to laugh!  

HAHAHA!  Jeanne, I've just been sorting through the Photo threads and never saw your comment about laughing till now...  Just a bit late in replying.  LOL
