Reminds me of something.

My Filipino Brother in Law is a great artist. He had a beautiful pencil painting of the fishermens huts at a beach nearby. Including of course the TV-antennae.

I asked him if he could do the same painting again for me but omit the TV-antennae. He did it but without the slightes bit of understanding why.

Lol..yeah. It is a matter of taste. I saw a woman on the street in the French Quarter doing pencil drawings. I asked if she took things out. Her answer was, no that she wanted people to see her drawing and then walk by the place and recognize it.

One of the things I like about PS is the ability to take out power lines when shooting old buildings.

My kids love Japanese food and eat it regularly and I have a pretty good idea what a meal like that would cost in Thailand.

Lunch is always your best bet for bargains in Tokyo- actually, that is probably true at the nicer joints here in BKK, too. 880 yen (about 310 baht) all-in for that, and the portions were really amazing. Friendly service too. The sea urchin was as fresh as it comes, no trace of bitterness.

If nobody minds I'll post a photo of an amazing sushi bargain I found near where I stayed in Shibamata (home of Tora-san). This was 550 yen at Ito-Yokado:


Some of the salmon roe spilled over on the way home, although the shop had put a couple of the red caviar on the bay scallops in the middle. Really fresh and good, under 200 baht (!). Dang, I am homesick already.

Makes ny mouth water, in Hawaii they have comparable sushi bars to cater to the Jap tourists at 1/2 the Tokyo fare. I can live on that food.

Looks like a great location Rob and I bet that camper van was yours you cop-out bastard with the rest of your mates roughing it on the cold ground.

A monument built in 1888 to commemorate a Revolutionary War battle and encampment

I wish the camper was mine, but none of us had to rough it.. inflatable matresses, copious amounts of alchohol and a few herbal ciggies meant we all had a very comfortable sleep.

We didn't roast any cows, but we did flame grill a few horses that were in the next field.

Looks like a nice place to have been brought up. Bet the garden will be nice once weather gets warmer. The pond is nice, less grass to cut.

Gettysburg was the Civil War. This is a town near me in Connecticut. I would like to get back out to Gettysburg. Haven't been there in over 20 years.

No need for that kind of language in a family-oriented thread . . .

Gburg is a wonderful place to visit in the fall season with the leaves in full color and the vast open spaces and meandering battlefield roads. It's great for Motorcycle and/or peddle bikes.

I have always thought about taking a motorcycle out in the fall, but I would be so busy looking for shots that I would run off the road. I went to college about an hour or so east of Gettysburg.
