Escribano -> Yeah, ours IS a wonderful World (Jul. 3 2007 18:28:37)
Ailsa's thread inspired me. So this was my Valley on Sunday evening. Taken 100m from my house. The furthest mountain is El Caballo, in the Sierra Nevada. The church is in Melegís, the next village up the valley from mine. This vista helps me put things in perspective, every day in every season. So I invite you all to contribute a photo of your backyard right now, to remind us of the wonderous and diverse world in which we are all guests. p.s. Nikon D40, 55-200mm, F11, 1/250 sec., ISO 200... blah blah. The camera is a birthday present for my girlfriend but I had to put it through its paces and she doesn't know about it yet so sssshhhh!

Hey Simon! Thats a beautiful pic! I hardly wait to visit Andalucia. I also have a lot to show if you don't mind. Slovenia is a gorgeous place which I'm very proud of. This pic was taken on february last year, just in front of my door. Few minutes after the rain. The fog is raising above the brook in the valley.

HHere you can see our hay-loft or as we say 'kozolec' about 100 meters away from my bed. Spring 2006.[:)] Images are resized automatically to a maximum width of 800px

Hey Shroomy726 Tell me about it ha? I'm trying to find a decent pic of NO or BR to post. HARD! Very Hard, actually you might have a better luck finding one in NO with french quarter and St. Charles.

And of course as we Slovene people love to drink, here's the pic of a vineyard in our village. Taken at the same time as the previous (I took my camera for a walk). Images are resized automatically to a maximum width of 800px

When I need to get away and collect my thoughts, I go to the Texas Hill Country. Images are resized automatically to a maximum width of 800px

Matic your country is so beautiful - I had no idea. Thanks for posting these wonderful images. Ailsa

Matic -> RE: Yeah, ours IS a wonderful World (Jul. 4 2007 11:35:52)
Thanks Ailsa, I can post some more if you don't mind[:)] Well, I guess you dont. Here is photo from my trip last week to Slovene Alps. The place is called Velika Planina (big meadow) and cows are roaming free and grazing while people are having a walk among them. Some of them just don't want to go home: Images are resized automatically to a maximum width of 800px

Matic -> RE: Yeah, ours IS a wonderful World (Jul. 4 2007 11:40:48)
That's Velika Planina again, Alps at the background. [:)] Images are resized automatically to a maximum width of 800px

Ok, one more for our architects here who can see authentic buildings of this place.[:)] Here houses are fenced, not grasslands. People send their cows and calves (noone really wants bulls up here, you can imagine why) up to the grassland in mountains in summer where they stay during the summer and send them back in fall.

Jim Opfer -> RE: Yeah, ours IS a wonderful World (Jul. 5 2007 19:00:43)
Matic, Is that really a village where people live? Absolutely fantastic, but where do you park your car?

Matic -> RE: Yeah, ours IS a wonderful World (Jul. 5 2007 19:43:33)
No, Jim, as I wrote (maybe not clear enough) this is a place which has been for a long time up to now meant for feeding animals (cows) during the time of the year when this was possible (when there is grass and no snow...late summer->early autumn). The 'houses' were built by/for herdsmans who stayed up in the mountains with animals. Today there are still herdsmans staying up but this place has also got another function - it's a nice place to relax and well visited by tourists and walkers looking for some fresh air. Well, you may smell/step into an animal product (no, not milk) but you shouldn't mind, you're in nature. Today, you can even come all the way up with your car (herdsmans dont want to miss all their life up there i guess[:D]) but you go there for a walk or on bike so leave the car down in the valley.

I see you even know how to swear in English! [;)][:D] Err... think that was on another thread - sorry if I've confused you!

Matic, Ooops! I think you've just lit a bulb up over Jim's head!! [:D] These are gonna be the new, trendy, luxury homes by the Clyde in 5 years time ...[:D][:D] They are pretty unusual and stylish I must say. cheers, Ron

quote: Matic, I'm always impressed by how good your English is. Sarcasm? Well, tell this to my teacher, please. I always struggle to find an appropriate word in english so I often simplify my sentences. Hmm...swearing. Slovene language in all its breathtaking complexity still is curses-cleaned ([:D]) language...we have some wannabe written profane oaths but noone ever uses them because they are not effective at all... so we borrowed all our 'used but not written in a dictionary' words to swear from other languages. Mostly from former Yugoslavia countries' languages. Nowadays young people also use some english ones which are imo stupid as they can be (** and ** as most used)[:D] If you want to learn some nasty words we use, just tell me, I always love to help. Ron[:D] Are there any cows by the Clyde? Because these houses without an authentic cow sh*it at frontdoor just ain't the same. Sorry to tell you.

Cool, if you work for BP, so did I in the 80s. I was based in the London HQ but served in Ghana, Congo and Aberdeen. Always wanted to make it to Alaska.
