A few pictures from my travels - Page 5

I was driving and Kelle was taking the pictures, so this one is kinda blurry. This is coming back into Vegas from the Hoover Dam side. The view is simply stunning. WAY better than this photograph conveys.

Looks cool from the air too. Camping at lake, the sun went down behind the hills but the sky never got completely dark. Vegas lit the sky all night.

OnyxCougar · 07-21-2003, 04:23 PM

Yep, that's called the Vegas light dome. To actually see the night sky, you need to be 75 miles + from Vegas to be out of the dome. Made the lab for my astronomy class in college a challenge...

My mom sent me this picture last night. It's her new tattoo. I post it here because my mom is one of the coolest people on the planet. She's 61, rides a Harley, is a pagan, and looks DAMN good for her age. I hope that I look half as good as her when I hit 60.

We went to New Bern, NC last week and now that it's Friday, (my day off) I finally have a chance to get the pics online.

These are pics of Tryon Palace.

The Gardens:

The back of the house (taken with my back to the water).

When you're in the back of the house, upstairs, looking out the windows, you can't see the cannon, but it faces out toward the river. Now, when I say river, I actually mean the outlet of the river to the ocean, which is less than a mile away.

Man, it sure looks like spring down there.

Nice pictures, OC. That's along the coast somewhere?

OnyxCougar · 03-19-2004, 05:16 PM

Yes. This is a zoomed out map:

OnyxCougar · 03-19-2004, 05:17 PM

((sighs)) Attach the file, OC....

OnyxCougar · 03-19-2004, 05:19 PM

little closer in...

Thank you, Dearheart.

OnyxCougar · 03-19-2004, 07:48 PM

Anytime, SugarBear.

hey, cool thread cougar....glad you brought it back up to the top.

I've been to Zion, but we missed bryce. That whole area around the "4 corners" is the neatest area i've ever been to. Your pictures are great. they give me flashbacks. The one of the big stormy sky in ??eastern colorado/west kansas?? is particularly striking. how near the clouds are to the ground.

When we rode across that way, i remember seeing a radio tower in the distance for 2.5 hours until we finally reached it ( going 70mph).....a storm blew up from the west, followed by the biggest double rainbow i've ever seen.

on that same stretch of road, as we rode in the car, we heard a loud !!BANG!! , and corn chips came flyin out of the back of the car all over us. It seems that as we dorve west into CO, our altitude was steadily increasing, and the atmospheric pressure was dropping. So much, that the air pressure inside the new bag of tostitos that sat on the back shelf of our car finally overcame the external air pressure, and it exploded. messy.
