Stunning high altitude pics Alan. I love the tweed jacket too.

BJ you're such a rebel.

Amazing pictures Alan.

I'm AFRAID of flying. Pics are so real I'm having a panic attack.

Wandering around the Park in my Churchill Ltd trying to remember where I parked my car...???

Thanks... apologies for the length of the post but glad you enjoyed. Robert, I have a similar problem with heights but for some reason, this doesn't affect me on an airplane.

 

[Bob Roberts]

No apologies necessary, those aerials are really good shots. You're lucky as you seem to fly often.

I'm still not too old to or maybe old enough to appreciate the wonder of flight Alan. Thanks for the great reminders of the wonder.

The take off is like a roller coaster when starts to climb. The decent is very soft, you only notice it because things get closer and closer. The touch down is like being on a bus on a perfect road that suddenly turns to a dirt road.
I don't fly very often, been only 5 times in 10 years but the sensation is the same.

Thanks guys. Mike, I am the same way. I am like a kid in an airplane. Just not the kid screaming in the row in front of you.

We'll have to fly you into Chicago or Buffalo on your USA road trip. We can get provide some variation to the sensations.

Well I only have flown from Portugal to the UK and back. Nothing compared to you.

10 feet up on a latter and I'm almost having a heart attack
10.000 feet up in my hang glider and I'm having a ball

Now that's flying Pandora, I'd love to give it a try.

 

[Frunobulax]

Looks like fun, Panadora.

Also beautiful shot/countryside.

Lisbon downtown today after being in the hospital for dental inspection.

Praça da Figueira

Santa Justa Lift

Rua Augusta

This building burned 29 years ago and was rebuild (the one at the end of the street).

And me at the Santa Apolonia train station

hoops, what are the white balls in the background? I'm reminded of those things on the beach in "The Prisoner."

 

[hatsRme]

My guesses about those white balls (actually not spherical) is that they're wrapped hay, or that Hoops lives near a marshmallow factory/farm...

That's how they do it these days.
