And here's my second shot (taken during one of the many balmy winter days we had here this July - freaky damn weather).

Ok - I've put off posting my last picture just in case I had a last minute artistic moment of brilliance. Didn't happen. Oh well. Here's a pic from my trip to England earlier this year.

Here's one I took a couple years ago, looking down at the Mediterranean from the cliffs by Tiberius' Villa Jovis on Capri (Italy).

And my second, a closeup of the dome of the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem, which I took in the summer of 2004, ad used to use as my desktop. Sorry about the compression artifacts in the image - this is a low res version I had posted online a couple years ago, and I don't have the original just at hand.

Alright, submission number 1 for me....

Lady of Winterfell · 24th July 2008, 02:17 AM

And submission number 2...

Lady of Winterfell · 24th July 2008, 02:17 AM

Wow, those are quite small....hmmm......

Oh well, they will have to do for now, don't have time to resize them again at the mo.

My gods, Ushumgal, I'm getting vertigo just from looking at that first picture.

Great photos! That blue carafe one is sensational.

Teresa Edgerton · 24th July 2008, 04:48 AM

I know nothing about photography, and never take pictures myself, but I've been following this thread and just want you all to know how much I've enjoyed looking at your lovely pictures. They are a feast even for the uninitiated eye.

Lol, yes - it *was* a bit of a climb! But I suppose Tiberius was more concerned about the view...I rather doubt he had to toil up there by foot himself, like we did.

And Bookstop, that ruined cathedral shot of yours is *sublime*

Lady of Winterfell · 24th July 2008, 05:22 PM

Why thank you HJ!

Some absolutely breathtaking images in here. I can't believe how many I now have as my favourite. It's going to be tough deciding.

As for mine, I was torn between 3 images. I figured everyone would expect skies and moody shots and lakes from me, since I love skies! and I live in the Lake District (can you tell?

), but I always wanted to do something a little different. So, hence these:

But at the time I didn't realise an eye would be so popular!

And this, which seems a little blands as it's a typical Leish image:

I'll post up my other "blue" images in the photo thread, since some of them looked a little disappointing, so I didn't add them here.

Hilarious Joke · 25th July 2008, 12:19 AM

Great ones Leish!

Far out, this is going to be really hard to vote on!

And #2 for my entries:

It's from my trip to Italy in 1997. It's a cathedral in Siena.
