wisemanp 0 Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 Hello everyone, remember me? :wink: I have arrived back in England and will be on here a bit more now i hope! Here is a selection of the 450 odd shots I took on holiday! At Bristol (EGGD/BRS) with an easyJet A319 One of the powerpacks to take us to Italy Zurich Kloten LSZH Swiss mountains Locarno in the Italian speakins Swiss Canton of Ticino Lago Di Como On disembarkation The plane that got us here (Bergamo Orio AL Serio LIME/BGY) The view from the hotel in Limone on Lake Garda And again On the boat over to Malcesine From there we took the cable car to Monte Baldo Anyone for Stake and Chips?! Waiting for the boat back Now into Austria, staying in Fulpmes just above Innsbruck in the Tirol. This valley in the picture is called the Pinnis! Where we had lunch in the Pinnistal The Bergisel Ski Jump in Innsbruck, twice used for the Winter Olympics The church in Mutters where we had dinner one evening The start of the world famous Kitzbuhel downhill ski run A very precise distance to the level crossing! And again! Appraching from the other direction I don't want to have problems with the farmer! Our tram reflected in the one infront We're now in Switzerland, a place called Samedan. This is a picture of the Piz Palu taken through my binoculars! Mountains above St. Moritz This taken from Diavolezza on/above the bernina Pass Beautiful Glaciers!

allardjd 1,853 Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 Great photos, Phil! Very interesting. If they aren't making some serious hydro-electric power in Locarno they're missing a heck of an opportunity - but I don't think the Swiss EVER miss an opportunity, so I suspect that they are.

hurricanemk1c 195 Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 Great shots Phil! I wouldn't mind the rail pics aswell - are you a rail spotter? Kieran Link to post Share on other sites
wisemanp 0 Posted August 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 Thanks guys, I really enjoyed the holiday and being in the mountains. Kieran-I will get them up as soon as I can-could be this evening. I wouldn't call myself a spotter but more an enthusiast, but I suppose spotter just about covers it...

hurricanemk1c 195 Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 Hi Phil! That's OK - I'll wait. I'm also a rail enthusiast and a spotter since I was young, and I go down to my local station every Friday :wink: Kieran Link to post Share on other sites
wisemanp 0 Posted August 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 Kieran-twice today, I've tried posting the pics but twice IE7 has crashed...I will keep trying but it takes a while annotating all the pictures! Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,493 Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 Kieran-twice today, I've tried posting the pics but twice IE7 has crashed...I will keep trying but it takes a while annotating all the pictures! That's a shame Phil. Don't forget there is a save post feature you can use whilst posting or create it in notepad first? Good luck Link to post Share on other sites
ddavid 149 Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 Hi Phil - welcome back! Only just had time to see your pics - excellent set - thanks for sharing. I've always wanted to get to Garda - now there's no excuse - also enjoyed your creative use of binoculars - hey, that's good. :yes: Cheers - Dai. Link to post Share on other sites

wisemanp 0 Posted August 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 Hey guys. On attempt 3 of posting rail shots, I was using the tactic of doing it in notepad first. Had nearly finished, with detailed descriptions of them all, when the computer crashed! I was also 2 hours into a flight from Seoul to HKG Kai Tak. Lets hope attempt 4 works!
