Wow, it's beautiful grazzers!! Can I come visit??

Dunlavy · 02-16-2005, 07:42 PM

it's green! So wonderfully green! I once lived in Italy.... then I had to move to U.S.A.... of all places, and worse yet, Texas... Some green, mostly brown. Makes me sad.

Many thanks for the pictures!

Thanks for the tour, very green for winter.

5" x 8" and 72 pixels per inch JPG should give you good pictures well within the limit of 120.

Archergirl and anyone else, your all free to visit, although i suggest going inland to the mountainous areas, where the views are unbelievable, especially at this time of year! It's not usually this green, but we've had a very mild winter so far, but thats set to change, so i'll hopefully get some pics of a snowy landscape online soon!

I hear it's prettymuch always gloomy in Scotland. My friend was disapointed when she moved there. Always wanted to view it with beautiful sunrises and sunsets, she got a little peeved when she didn't see that. Maybe it's where she went. her answering machine has some statement saying "We're in "sunny" Scotland"

grazzers · 02-18-2005, 03:29 AM

Yeah, Scotland isn't notorious for good weather, but here on the East coast it is relatively dry with about 800mm rain per year compared to some West coast areas getting 3000mm, almost a centimeter a day! Britian lies right in the path of any weather system coming in off the Atlantic, but the East coast is luckily sheltered by the mountains, so not much is left by the time it gets here. It's a clear sunny day today so far, apparently the snow arrives tonight though (hopefully).

Dunlavy · 02-18-2005, 08:20 AM

I haven't seen snow in 15 years.....

grazzers · 02-19-2005, 05:52 AM

It snowed!

(and yes, that is me looking like a fool in a hat)

grazzers · 02-19-2005, 05:54 AM

A good 2 inches fell overnight. I took a pic of my house to compare with before it snowed. You can see more snow clouds building behind it.

grazzers · 02-19-2005, 05:57 AM

The gritter/plough things were prepared and turned up at 8.30 this morning, taking away the precious snow. Heres a secluded patch they didn't get. It soon started snowing again, which i guess isn't good for cameras, so i came back inside. Enjoy!

You call that snow? Dude, I can still see the houses and cars and the trees are still green. Around here the snow plows wouldn't even bother to come out for a little dusting like that, not worth the effort.

Undertoad · 02-19-2005, 09:05 AM

Nice neighborhood, nice shots, nice goin Graz.

xoxoxoBruce · 02-19-2005, 12:05 PM

404, they wear kilts. They're not waiting for the snow to get deep.

Thanks grazzers, I hadn't seen any of Scotland that looks like your area. It looks much like many upscale American suburbs.
