Nice Christmas market shot from Vienna.

Here's one of ours from a visit to a different market:

Cool shot in Stuttgart. Here's one of my favorites from a year we were in Prague in November. The cook still has his Soviet Army hat. Big Christmas Market.

My son taught English "as a second language" in Prague- after he had been there a couple months we went and visited, hit several countries and enjoyed it!

One of my favorite statement pieces is on park grounds, that's a Russian tank buried with its rear sticking out... they did not like the Russians much at all after they overstayed their welcome after liberating them

Dottie has gone from noisy to listening. She is the most aware dog I have had.

I was first there May of 2000, almost exactly 20 years later (I think I was less than 3 days off from being exactly 20 years later). We weren't able to get all of the way to the end of the road because some of it was still covered in snow, but we got almost all of the way to the end of the road. It was the middle of the week and cloudy, so we ran into maybe 5-10 other cars over the course of several hours. It was breath-taking and truly awesome (meaning I was absolutely awestruck by the beauty and destruction that went for miles. The progression of destruction as you approached Mt St Helens was hard to fathom.

I was there again, but in Sep 2018, almost 20 years after the first time. It was a different time of year, and there was much more people and traffic. It was still really impressive, but I'm glad that I got that first shot back on the 20th anniv. I think the solitude, and weather enhanced that first view.

Baker Lake mid August 2018.
Area was very smokey from BC wildfires. It does create some nice sunset colors and effects but I prefer crystal clear skies anytime

You spend so much time at so many horrible, ugly places. I'm not sure how you can stand it! Thanks for sharing.

I think the tiles in front of the stove were warm. What do you think?
