Jimbo made me feel a bit guilty for being so lazy ...

And, it's a beautiful day on the Atlantic coast here in South Florida ...

So, I took a couple of photos of "Redbeard" the notorious pirate while he's visiting Fort Lauderdale ... ;)

Thanks for the great pictures everyone!

Jimbo - i like the pic by the Hoover Dam. I am fortunate enough to have seen it in person when I drove cross country - I drove back from Vegas to Virginia in 48 hours (oh, to be young and crazy again!). I am waiting now til my kids are just a little bit older to make the trip again, with the family, as part of our homeschool education! And Richard is absolutely right, the scale of the landscape out West is VAST!

Cachalote - can't wait to see the pictures from the Azores! It sounds like my kind of place - beautiful and isolated!

Richard - Very cool photos of Redbeard! I especially like the lighting in the third one - it is terrific. And a very clever way to take a photo of Redbeard out the window!

These pictures are great.  It is so nice to see all the different areas/enviroments everyone comes from.  Very cool ruins in Brians pics.  These pictures have made me want to go on vacation.

Andi-

Fantastic photos, and a great old locomotive! What a terrific place to take your klickies, oh, and your son as well! :D

Tim-

It's a small world after all, but not so small to our favorite little plastic people. ;) Hope you are having a wonderful time on your trip!

Hi Customizer,   Tiermann, and all.

What great photos! 
Very inspiring.   

Here are a couple of pictures of Porco Rosso when he was kidnapped by my daughter and son-in-law and taken to Las Vegas.

One is the obligatory one at Hoover Dam, the other is by the fireboat at the New York, New York hotel/casino.

Porco was safely returned...

Enjoy
Jimbo
