Sooks- I'm glad you had a good time.
We left for Seaside Wednesday, stayed all day thursday, and went to Cannon Beach Friday.
It wasn't all that great, me and my dad had some problems, but it went better than expected.

[talkingfriend]

ok TWO THINGS


1) i am so sorry..for my lack of time here (again)..going abroad for a year has given me soo many opportunities
and unfortunately i do not have time left/ and internet access availabilty for the forum
i hope that will change soon.... after having been here 10 1/2 months
I AM GOING HOME TOMORROW..so strange to say that..

2) Unfortunately there was only one entry for the EMOTION photo contest
i would have liked to have a vote..some competition..
oh well..sorry seni...

SO i guess SENI is the winner of the second photo contest
her entry for EMOTION (like it very much seni *pretty stick*):

Hi everyone,

Well - it's autumn with a vengeance here in Michigan!  The only way I cope with the impending doom of winter each year is to take pictures of pretty trees.

Shell ~ Those are beautiful pictures.  I love fall here in Michigan.  I wish that I could have gotten up North this year, but I missed it. 
           Did get to see a lot of color driving through Edward Hines park, although, I was a bit thrown to see that most of the
           christmas lights for the Festival of Lights were already up.  Times is really flying by way too fast for me this year.

^^i agree beautiful

i tried getting nice pictures of the autumn, but did not really succeed

i will soon be posting campus pictures, so you have an idea of what my new home looks like

sooks and Melissa (lol: Melissa and Melissa):

i will think of another topic..am hoping to get more people involved though..
i am online more often now, cause i have permanent internet and a permanent adress
so...another contest should be on its way

Just clearing out my computer and found so photos of the area I live so I thought I would share them with you.

My house and the rest of the hamlet


The view of the coast from the hill behind my house




Walking up the coast towards the local village beach 15 minutes walk from my house


Where we walk the dog looking up the coast




The old coal mines








Looking up one of the old chimneys


Sunsets




Beach 15 minutes walk away from my house, has a sweet little cafe










Someone fishing


Some flowers from my walk




And a couple from the top of a mountain we walked up in Wales

Clare ~ Those are such amazing pictures.  Thank you for sharing them.  You live in such a beautiful place.  If you don't mind saying, where is it that you live?  I would love to live near the water and in a place that isn't all built up with houses, stores and other buildings.  Away from all of the traffic and soooo many people.  (opps, just went through the pics again and read everything.  You said some were from the top of a mountain that you walked up in Wales.  Is that where you live or a place that you visited?  My fathers family came from Wales.)

Maggie ~ Your pictures are amazing, too.  Thank you for sharing them with us, too.  Several of your pictures look like they were taken in a park that I love to drive through just about every Sunday as long as there is nice weather.  I guess there are places like that all over the world.

I live in Cornwall which is pretty similar to Wales except we don't have the mountains just hills. The first set of photos is from where I live, it's quite rural nothing much to do really, no malls or anything. It has its benefits and its downfalls depending on the time of year.
