Thankfully a bit more of a yomp across dodgy terrain that the felled one.

One from Admin today.

Floating down a river in Northern Thailand on bamboo raft. The lad steered with a bamboo pole for about a couple of miles and then the raft was dismantled and taken back to the launching place. While I sat there with sandals on and my feet covered with an inch of water, a small snake swam across the river, over the raft, right past my feet and away.

Lovely shot and memory

Thanks, Oy...

At the moment I do not have any members pics left. If you have any interesting pics, please send them to me. Ta.

Another Admin pic today.

Are you sure? A couple that I sent have not been posted. Having said that, they probably werent good enough, so its no problem. I'd like to see this thread continue. Always good to see photos.

I agree with UJ, it's good to see folk's photos on here, especially OYs which are truly professional.
I wish I could contribute but posting photos on here has proved problematic in the past.

All photos are welcome UJ

Today's pik is from OY...a smasher as usual.

A bit choppy.

I seem to have posted all your entries, UJ. Please resend the ones missing and I will be happy to post them.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Just sent two new ones. Could only remember one of the others I sent previously, and it was not all that interesting anyway.

Got 'em, UJ. They are smashers. I'll post the first one on Monday. Thank you....

Depending on which one the first one is, there is another taken from the same spot looking in another direction that could be interesting. They really need to be posted either together or sequentially though.

Please send the other one with your instructions for posting. No prob....

Two crackers from UJ today.

Head in the clouds on top of a 10,000 ft mountain. Head on to a helicopter. Opposite viewpoint.

Thanks for posting the photos.

A bit of info about them. Both were taken when standing at the top of a roughly 10 000 foot mountain in July, 2018. Probably the only time in my life that I will ascend to such a height.

The first one felt a bit special, having my head at cloud level, and looking down over lower mountains into the valley below.

In the other, it did seem a bit odd to look at a helicopter that was at the same altitude head on. 10 000 feet is the legl limit which an aircraft can be operted without the crew using oxygen.

As may be guessed, that trip, which took in 5 different countries, was unforgettable!

What is the mountain range and which countries?

Awesome pics UJ. You do get about.
