Not me, but cool coincidence, never been to Dyersburg.

Glad to know that I am not the only clumsy picture taker. I just got lucky with the shots I posted.

Hi Doodle

Okay here goes, my first time attempting to post a pic!



It worked, thanks for the help, two more!!





Enjoy the views of the Namibian desert

Some pictures from my neck of the woods and the valley I live in, the River is where Virginia Wolf walked into with pockets laden with rocks and killed herself.

My summer chill out spot where I put my feet in the water while the dog goes for a swim


The streets I walk the dog along


A nice tree to sit under to watch the river..


Cuckmere Haven

Oh my gosh, those looks like paintings, they are so pretty. I love the sunset on the sand.

Another couple of spots I would love to set my boat down in.

I really love the red phone booth. We don't have phone booths left in much of America.

I unfortunately don't have many pics on my pc at work but will bring some more in with me, just need time to pick and choose which ones are worth showing you! Glad you enjoyed!
It is of course better in real life!
There is nothing to beat time alone in the desert with a view from the top of a dune over the Altantic, Skeleton Coast!

Piddinghoe harbour (Sussex, Ouse Valley) is a stunning spot to set down.. Thanks for the thread I think like most people I've been too broke to travel anywhere special recently, so thanks for bringing some nice dreams into my day

As much as I love living in Africa and being so close to the desert and ocean, your pics make me very envious! What incredible views you have right there on your doorstep!

One of my favorite summer day hang outs

Thank you I've always want to travel across Africa, (I've only been to the North, mostly the Sahara) but the dunes then and your pictures now remind me (in a strange way) so much of the rolling hills downs I live on...

This image doesn't justify the image in my head the rolling nature of both... but hope it conveys a little of what I mean

Stunning, looks like a day out I would enjoy

thanks for sharing

Here is Winnekenni Castle of Haverhill, Massachusetts.



Many times I've heard tales of a wealthy Bostonian merchant that traveled to England and fell madly in love with the daughter of a socialite with some royal standing. This father so feared America as a nation of ignorant men with raw emotions, he would only give his daughter's hand in marriage (and allow her to move to the United States) if the Bostonian could build her a sturdy castle to protect her from the volatile whims of a savage people.

After 7 years of building what we now see of the castle, the Bostonian believed he had enough rooms to protect his bride, and would make the castle larger and grander when they moved in after the wedding. Upon returning to to England, the Bostonian discovered that the love of his life had died (cause unknown). He returned to the United states, left the castle to ruin, and lived out a long miserable life in a boarding house.

Isn't that SAD! Actually, no, because it's a crock of sh%$!

Here is a link to the true story, and it has something to do with proving the value of boulders!

A Brief History of Winnekenni Castle

The Atlantic Ocean meets the Namib Desert. In the background is the coastal town of Swakopmund



Cooling off in a pool of water at the Spitzkoppe, a 700 million year old granite mountain, in the middle of the desert after rain!



The African moon lying on her back



Approaching Spitzkoppe a few weeks after the rain turns the desert green!



Here's wishing all ATS'ers a wonderful weekend!

You guys are AWESOME! Keep them coming. I love to see all of the places us ATSers are from. I have to admit that we really do live on an amazing planet.

Also loving the castle pic. Interesting story there.

I took this pictures from my back garden.... When looking at them I forgot were I was They were so peaceful and I could stare for about half an hour to them then they disappeared and I was back in my garden again.
