Post your pic thread (what happened to the last one?)

[Taverner]

I was going to post to that one, but couldn't find it...

Anyway...here goes..real recent pic

[biscodawg]

1. sure, why not

[MissMillie]

2. hubba hubba

very nice

[Cannikin]

55. Yes. Quite nice.

[XemaSab]

3. why is the cactus on your shirt

giving us the W?

[Taverner]

4. It's a little take on Texas ;)

I dunno, I found humor in it :)

[XemaSab]

5. Me too

:D

[Heidi]

6. Pick up those towels from the floor, young man!

Very cute, very buff.

Hi, Taverner! :hi:

[skygazer]

7. My favorite pic of myself

Obviously taken a while ago - April of 2000.

[Taverner]

8. Is that on top of the building I think it is?

[skygazer]

11. Yes it is

All the hundreds of times I'd been to NY growing up in New England, I never went to the top of the Trade Center. After moving to California, I took a vacation to NY and decided to do all the touristy things. I'm so glad I did. :cry:

My boyfriend at the time could not even stand up there - he walked out the door and sank down onto a bench. I, on the other hand, leaped onto the rail and cried out, "take my picture!". He did, then begged me to get down - I wanted it to be at a point where you can see just how high in the air it was but there were no benches convenient there.

9. I would hope it was taken a while ago.

Or we would ahve to start thinking you have special powers.

[skygazer]

14. Well, I do have special powers

But that's another story... :P

[ronnykmarshall]

15. I need to scan my WTC pics.

God I miss the towers.

[DS1]

33. Ok, so, there was a good 4 or 5 feet of roof beyond that rail, correct?

Because if you were my beau, and you did that to me and that was -the- edge of WTC, it would be a long time before we talked again.

[ronnykmarshall]

34. There was a large area round the rail.

The observation deck was in the center of the building, not on the edge of it.

I can still "see" it in mind. Sometimes I can't believe they are gone. :cry:

[DS1]

35. I remember my last trip there

Spring 2000 I think. I didn't even like being on the inside of the top floor, where they had those metal seats that were a few steps down and right against the window. The height just creeped me out, too much building of things to go wrong between me and the ground.

[skygazer]

69. Yes, there was, jutting out below where I was sitting

But that was one of the things I liked the most, not having my view blocked by tall railings or fence, just a waist-high rail - made you really aware of how high in the air you were.

I love being up in the air, though (used to work on a bridge crew and some of my favorite memories involve high, rickety scaffoldings and narrow I-beams) - it was exhilerating.

I finally got boyfriend to pose near the rail - I think he actually left a mark where he was gripping it. LOL

[bicentennial_baby]

10. Just think hard and remember what I look like, 'k?

I'm sure you, of all people, can do that ;)

[Sal316]

12. Ok.. i haven't done this in a while.

Me in Laughlin, NV...enjoying a grown-ups getaway!

[bicentennial_baby]

13. Wow, long time no see!

:hi:

[Sal316]

28. Glad to be back!

:hi:

A little too big!

[Taverner]

[Shell Beau]

[WCGreen]

[ronnykmarshall]

Lose the shirt!

:evilgrin:


Whadda hunka man!

[Napoleon Dynamite]

66. I was thinking that too

but being new, didn't know if it was appropriate. Even if it's not, we can be inappropriate together. :)

[alarcojon]

72. Hey, welcome to DU, Nap!

Enjoy your stay. Learn and share.

[ronnykmarshall]

73. Stick w/ me baby ...

[SOteric]

:shrug:

[Taverner]

22. some people (like me for instance) are just vain

but hey, I've always thought vanity and lust got a bad rap as far as the seven deadlies go. I mean no way vanity and lust as bad as, say, greed and envy...

[sniffa]

23. oh, you poor thing

:cry:

[Shell Beau]

27. It gives us something to do. Plus sometimes

a person will finally get the courage up to post a pic. No biggie!

[chaska]

36. wow, cool pic!

[sniffa]

26. statue-tory

[Shell Beau]

29. So that is Mrs. Sniffa!

[sniffa]

30. yes... before the breast job

and as you can teLL... we're swingers. :D

[Shell Beau]

31. Looks like you may have some stiff competition.

(pun may or may not have been intended)

[WCGreen]

56. Such Exquisite taste in art my boy, A real hands on consumer

[StaggerLee]

37. little one

[alarcojon]

38. New one!

Guess my ethnic background.

[Shell Beau]

39. I am afraid I would get it wrong! Are

you latin? :shrug: Nice pic though!

[alarcojon]

40. Yes!

Now try to narrow it down. Heh Heh.

[Shell Beau]

45. How could I? Um.....

It could be so many, I'll go with the one closest in location. Mexico?

[alarcojon]

46. Nyet! Here's a hint

[Shell Beau]

48. ???

I am so bad at geography. But that is a beautiful picture!

[alarcojon]

49. Andes....

How about this?

[Taverner]

51. I know (since I've been there)

But I'll let Shell continue to guess

[alarcojon]

60. Did you see one of these?

[Taverner]

62. No never did go to those islands

but I got to see Cuzco...and spent quite a bit of time mountain biking in Quito.

Trust me, Quito streets are murder at that altitude!

[alarcojon]

65. Awww! Now Shell's going to get it!

I played basketball in Quito, full court, with my cousins, and it was not a pretty sight.

[Shell Beau]

53. Okay, I know somewhere in South America,

but I am still drawing a blank!

[Shell Beau]

67. ECUADOR!!!!!

[alarcojon]

68. Yeah, baby, yeah!

Thanks for playing!

[Shell Beau]

70. Hey it was fun and I learned a little.

[Felix Mala]

58. Mountain God angry again. Gather up 10 virgins...

[alarcojon]

63. Here is another angry mountain god. Same country

[Felix Mala]

74. Yow, those are great. I'm assuming you've lived near some of

these. Do you have a website journal or some other narrative of your experiences?

[alarcojon]

76. I have travelled extensively in Ecuador

but haven't technically lived there. I have many relatives throughout the country.

Post # 46 is Mount Tungurahua. The town in the foreground is Ban~os. It had to be evacuated in 1999 and almost again in 2003 due to the volcanic activity. I was there many years ago, before Tungurahua's recent flare-ups. It is a beautiful area and one can enter the Amazon region from Ban~os.

Post # 63 is Guagua Pichincha. Quito is literally on the folds of this volcano and got a thin layer of ash during this steam explosion in 1999. The remarkable shot I posted is from the other side. I wasn't there, but let's just say my cousins, aunts and uncles were all in a state of shock, and the city quickly came together for the clean-up.

BTW, Ecuador is also known for earthquake activity, but the patron saint of Quito said that it will be ruined not by volcanoes or earthquakes, but by bad governance!

Post # 49 is the Mitad Del Mundo monument/museum, and the yellow line is supposedly the equator. People like to take their photo straddling the line. Nearby, there is a church with the line going right down the main aisle, as well as a restaurant which seats you in the hemisphere of your choosing.

Lastly, Post # 60 is a Galapagos tortoise. The Galapagos islands are a part of Ecuador.

[Felix Mala]

75. Yow, those are great. I'm assuming you've lived near some of

these. Do you have a website journal or some other narrative of your experiences?

[Taverner]

41. Greek or Armenian?

[alarcojon]

42. No, I've gotten Greek before.

But Armenian is new. Thanks!

[MissMillie]

43. Here's me

down 90 lbs. from last year (gotta love THAT!)

[Taverner]

44. You're a psychedelic morphing map of the US?

[XemaSab]

47. You meet all kinds here on DU

n/t

[StaggerLee]

50. oh wow

I thought it was some sort of fish swimming in it's own blood.

:freak:

[MissMillie]

77. curiouser and curiouser (Let's try again)

I wonder where my photo went.

[anarch]

52. I'm the 47,239th one from the left...

[Napoleon Dynamite]

59. dang.. you are one nice looking man

Are you from Texas originally? I saw the shirt and wondered. Texas seems to have the best looking men.

[Taverner]

61. Actually a Californian

The shirt is just to rile up the Texans ;)

[Napoleon Dynamite]

64. the shirt got this Texan riled up, but not the way you expected

:P

[Taverner]

71. Thank you

I appreciate all compliments

Even if I am str8, I know when I'm loved ;)

[dr.zoidberg]

78. I can't help myself.

They're all like "Stop spraying me with ink Zoidberg!" "Put on pants Zoidberg!" "Don't touch our fancy box Zoidberg"!

[SkipNewarkDE]

79. Couple of Me
