Just some local pics

Oooh! A photography forum, I didn't notice this. I really need to get out of the Xtreme forum a bit more.

Here are a couple of pics from around my home in Cyprus, taken with a Nikon D70 and 18-70mm zoom lens.

Great pictures (prefer the colour one myself).

We are not jealous of where you live, no siree..

Thanks for sharing the pictures.

The top photo reminds me of some of the terrain not far from Incirlik Air Base in Turkey.

The bottom photo makes me miss all the wonderful seafood that I enjoyed all around the Mediterranean.

The bottom one brought back all the smells of a seaport... particurily the ones arfter a storm... I think I will stay in South Dakota.

Well, Turkey's not too far away from me and the terrain in Cyprus around the coast is very rocky. I don't know the story behind this particular church, but there is a history in Cyprus of individuals paying for a small church to be constructed, which would then be dedicated to a favourite saint. The one in the photo is probably one of these. With regard to seafood, see below.

I take your point, but I love the sea (I spent many years sailing on it). The photo below is just along the quay and I imagine that the restaurant has the freshest fish on the planet, considering that the fishing boats moor just metres away.
