Re: Capital Ring

[mike wilson]

The only large parts of the UK that haven't seen the hand of humanity shaping 
them would be the mountain peaks above the continuous vegetation line.

Re: Capital Ring

Good idea. Probably used a lot by runners too?

BTW, they have MB Safaris in Kruger too. Also a multi-stage walking 
safari from Crook's Corner in the north to Malelane in the south. About 
a dozen weekly stages of 100km. Something like John O Groats to Land's end!

Yeah, there is a lot of repetition. I think that the unique ones are 3, 9,10, 
11, 12, and 13; I really like them.  Pix 4-6 are very similar. I find the 
background distracting in 7.

Re: Capital Ring

[Bob Pdml]

Thanks Rick. Not so sure I'd call it countryside though. Richmond Park is an 
ancient royal hunting ground, and Wimbledon Park formerly belonged to the 
Spencers and was landscaped by Capability Brown. The long views from above were 
shot from King Henry's Mound, which dates back to the neolithic times and was 
originally a burial mound, so the landscape has been populated and altered by 
humans for thousands of years.

Re: GESO: Basque Region

Beautiful shots.  I spent a fair bit of time in San Sebastian in the mid-late 
80s. It's a fantastic town and I'd love to go back there. 

On one trip out I stood waiting for my bags at Bilbao Airport next to Anthony 
Hopkins, who wasn't then a fava-eating psychopathic cannibal, I'm happy to say.

GESO: Basque Region

[Stanley Halpin]

On our recent trip we spent a couple of days in/around Bilbao Spain. On the 2nd 
day I had arranged an all-day tour with a local guide. Well, Zach is originally 
from Detroit, but has lived in that region with his Basque wife for 7 years, so 
more or less “local.” Our group of six traveled along the northern Spanish 
coast to the resort town of San Sebastian. Walked the beach, checked out the 
local market, then slowly back to Bilbao with stops in fishing villages and 
scenic overlooks along the way. And of course some pintxos along the way 
(pintxos are like tapas but intended for serious foodies.)

A good day and a region well worth a longer visit.

Technical notes: most shots were with the K-1ii, D FA 100/2.8 Macro, a few with 
GR-III. The panoramic view of the bay of San Sebastian was stitched in LR from 
10 handheld vertical-format frames shot with the 100mm Macro.

Nice! I know that city quite well, that area in particular. You have shown a 
superb capture of the feel of that neighborhood.

John, I envy the time that you and Bob and others have spent getting to know 
this city. And that is a correct analysis concerning the viewpoints from atop 
the Eiffel Tower and from the Arc.
There is one large tall ugly intrusive high-rise office (?) building off to the 
NNE of the Tower. I took great care not to include it in any of my shots.

Re: GESO: Another view of Paris

[Stanley Halpin]

Thanks Rick!
Do note that the opening shot of the circular stair is from within the 
northwest corner of the Arc. A matching Down stair is within the northeast 
section.

The Eiffel Tower involves 
1. advance tickets
2. Early arrival to allow time to get through security stations.
3. Long lines waiting for the appointed/scheduled access time
4. Elevator ride slanting up from ground level to large second level.
5. Lines.
6. Elevator ride to the third level. (Extra cost, many do not do this portion.)
7. Stairway up another level to the outside viewing area.

Our tickets were for the earliest time slot (9:30am as I recall) and so we had 
smallish crowds and relatively few waits or delays.

The biggest bottleneck is the relatively small elevator from the second level 
to the top, and back down. I skipped that one line and walked back down which 
not only gave me additional views to the outside, but also gave me many chances 
for shots of the amazing complexity of girders and supports. I wish I had taken 
more time with that aspect.
