I must admit that I felt an overwhelming sense of deja vu when I encountered John's lovely shot ... attached are John's entry for the competition and one of mine captured a couple of seasons ago.

No wonder

I really love these pics.

Hi Helen,
It is quite possible to stand at that particular spot and take twenty or more images of comparable beauty simply by moving the camera left or right by a few degrees.

What Cliff doesn't tell you is that the shots are taken from the terrace of a restaurant/bar at the end of a super walk among the flowers.
The fact they are both in focus is testimony to the fact that they were also taken BEFORE the beers!
JohnnyD

yeah, yeah, that'll be right..... we all know that digital cameras can mange a decent shot even if the photographer is three sheets to the wind......

(which does rather beg the question as to why I have such fuzzy pix when I'm stone cold sober

$:-\$

Could be... it's hard to munch chocolate bars and hold the camera at the same time........

Sounds like they picked the right spot to build a restaurant.

Just to labour a point a little, Helen ... all taken in the immediate vicinity ... and the flowers aren't bad when you can take your eyes off the mountains! Apologies for the cable car wires in the background ...

Brilliant last pic Cliff - we should do something about that cable car.

Thanks for the extra pics Cliff, it is certainly an amazing area.
How our lives have been enriched by the advent of affordable digital cameras.

I can still taste that beer.

Still can't remember the name of the mountain - it really was good beer.

This is just to reinforce Cliffs observation about the stunning scenery at that spot. Even the bar looks good.

This is the pic which should have been on the last post. Drat!

Re: the mystery plant in Class Three ... (3/22) ...

From the exhibitors own hand - 'Taken on 25/4/06 in Hungary, the Narodney Park & Valley. I might get a
closer venue with research. The day I also saw a Europea Lynx which was
much more memorable for me'!!!

Hope this might help?
