The random pics thread
« on: September 05, 2010, 12:43:01 pm »
Hi Tremblayans! :)

Sometimes I come across a photo while surfing the internet, that is either funny, interesting, beautiful or whatever. Sometimes I find a thread on BM where it fits in, sometimes not. I contemplated opening a blog and putting them there, but I rather have a community thread, where we all can put in whatever pictures we find share-worthy, for whatever reason.

It may be photos you took (then don't forget to credit yourself, so you'll get the praise! :)) or something you found in a far away corner of the world wide web. If you have a story to add to the pic, or want to tell us why you want to share it, then do so; we're looking forward to it. But it's no must. It can be pictures of whatever subject you think of, just random, like the title already says.

No rules except the usual BM guidelines for pictures. Get creative :).

I'll go first. I came across this pic randomly, and then remembered the cat-fight from last night. Hubby and I woke up from it. We often hear cat-fights, we live in a rural area. But the noises last night were really extreme. First thing this morning, we checked our sweet kitty, which is thankfully ok. Seems he wasn't involved in the riots from last night.

Great idea for a thread.  :)

This is a picture of Bamburgh Castle in Northumbria, (the north of England). We visited it recently on holiday. The castle and beach are just stunning.

Wow, that was a quick reply! :D
The castle looks impressive and in a beautiful setting. Did you take the pic or find it online?

Great photo Souxi! The rocks (?) look a bit like the hexagonal columns at Giant's Causeway in North Ireland. Is North Cumbria on the East coast of England? (Yes, shame on me, I should know, I've been all over England so often - must be a senior moment ;D)

The Ozarks are mainly in MO and AR. I have been in the Ozarks, but I didn't take the pictures. The mountains aren't really very high. The area is actually a high plateau, but around here we call it "the hills". If you've ever visited Branson, MO, you have been in the Ozarks.

Love all these pictures so far! The name Bamburgh rang a bell with me. I recently posted a picture of the Green Man at Bamburgh...but it's the Bamburg Cathedral in Germany. I wonder who Bamburgh was...he really got around!

Here's a link to my post.

The Bamburgh Castle looks like a great place to explore. I looked up a website and it had virtual tours of the rooms of the castle. Very beautiful picture.

I have another pic to share, two rather. The sky this morning around 8am. The second pic is taken a few minutes later and the light already started to change from pink to orange.

Now that's a strange kind of ... tent? box? kennel? mini house? shelter? - whatever.

It reminds me of modern dog kennels, all plastic. I wonder what this box (?) originally was meant to be. Has anyone ever seen anything like that?
Maybe it really is intended to be used like a tent, only more stationary ? ? ?

I came across it on some photo sharing site. The guy seen in the image took it with autotimer. He commented "My house, my boots, my post", which is a humorous referrence to a well-known commercial over here.

I like this thingie, whatever it is. Would like to spend some nights in one of those. ;D
And I thought Ennis and Jack would have been happy to have such a good shelter from the cold and hail storm. :)

That is pretty strange lookin'!

If it is supposed to function like a tent, I'm not sure I could sleep in that thing.....looks like it would get awfully hot in that.
