I was amused Rozenn traveled to NYC and took photos of one of the worst neighborhoods of the city. Phone camera helps by being more discrete. I barely use my real camera these days except for hiking trips. Don't see the point of lugging around an SLR to places I've taken photos of 10 times already when my phone camera is usually decent. Perhaps I should give it a try again.
Thanks.
I like the variety in that thread. Yea, Razza just posted some nice photos; had no idea what his area looked like. A couple northern Italian posters post good photos, too; especially one living in a valley in the Alps near Turin. And one northern German posters, Alphatier? Ed's Mountain is good, too.
There was a while back I spent a bunch of time posting a lot of my photos and they got no response; meanwhile owen posted a few photos and a bunch of posters responded to make fun of him. Got rather annoyed they hijacked and ignored my photos [mine were more interesting, why was owen's hotel so interesting?]; ignored their complaints on owen ever after...
the photo thread is a great thread, one of my favourites here. I wish I'd contribute but I really have little time to unload the photos to the computer and to select them. Also, by the time I do it I'm usually a season late I have a great camera which is quite small and which I carry everywhere. My phone camera is really crappy though.
I'm the type of person who takes thousands of photos, forgets about them then re-discovers them months later.
I don't post too many photos but I have a flickr page, on which there are mostly music related photos. I want to spend some time sorting other types of photos and post them.
It's just an interest thing and I'm not losing sleep over it . UK is a wet climate, yet streets sidewalks aren't covered -presumably because the weather much of the year isn't up to sitting outside anyway. It seems obvious to me that town s would afford shoppers more cover, but not to worry
Higher rainfall, but my climate also has less rain days than the UK. Brits here generally have something to say about it feeling drier here than they're use to.
But the rainfall comes down a lot heavier, which makes cover more necessary on a rainy day. You don't even need a good or umbrella in much of this lighter rain. Heavy rain often comes in at an angle anyway, negating the usefulness of cover. One factor that makes the UK in general feel wetter than it is, is the fact that winter highs are lower and therefore the ground do is a always sodden throughout much of the year. Whereas in the summer we can have the opposite problem, and the grass can turn yellow.
And yes you've told me, Brits that you meet think that NZ is a dry, scorching Mediterranean paradise

That actually comes across as kinda trolly/passive aggressive.
Joe regularly moans about large images because his internet connection is dial up. I'm just being thoughtful, but nei has ruined it.
