2005-10-07 [syagre]: *nods* that's somehow the problem when you want to display photos : most of the time, people cannot feel the same things as you at the sight of them, unless they've been there too

2005-10-07 [syagre]: by the way, have you entered the ET photograph competition ?

2005-10-07 [Delladreing]: *nods* hehe i'm still quite stunned that someone knew where abouts they were taken, even people here in Scotland cant identify them, and some people live realy near here (like in Glasgow itself) and have no idea where here is. Ask them where the start of the West Highland Way is and they stare at you like you have grown a second head o.O

2005-10-07 [Delladreing]: No I haven't, I don't normally like to enter my work in things, my work tends to be...personal, and I sometimes wonder if they would lease meaning if i "whored them out" as it were.

2005-10-07 [syagre]: Yep, I've been really surprised with that. Most of scottish people I've met where meaning that I had seen much more of Scotland than they did themselves... which I can't understand : your country has such marvelous places (sometimes rough, like the Highlands, but still)...

2005-10-07 [Delladreing]: Tell me about it lol, my friend Robert talked me into a hiking trip ages ago, my feet still have blisters >.<, but yes I know I am lucky to live here. I see so many places that are barren and flat with no view and then I look out my window and can see the hills over the tops of the houses. I love it here.

2005-10-07 [syagre]: I'm a bit surprised of your feeling about "whoring your pics out"... I personaly take it as an additional occasion to share the sights I enjoy...

2005-10-07 [Delladreing]: Yes..but its hard to explain I suppose, some of the places are very important to me, I sometimes wonder if I got given a badge for them, as though they were "just a pretty picture" if it would take away from their meaning to me. Its silly I know, but its the way I feel at times.

2005-10-07 [syagre]: Hehe, once i did some mad trip : I've walked the West Highland Way from Bridge of Orchy to Fort William within a day and a half... it took me about 2 weeks to recover !

2005-10-07 [Delladreing]: ...a day and a half?! Good God man! o.O thats insanity.

2005-10-07 [syagre]: It was just my last occasion for a walk in Scotland (my time in Scotland ended a week later), I couldn't resist.... by the way, the pics I've put in the comments are taken from that trip

2005-10-07 [Delladreing]: Ah I see...but even so...a day and a half! As used to the Way as I am that would have killed me outright.

2005-10-07 [syagre]: I admit I must have lost a handful of neurones before deciding of this journey ! Ah, otherwise, which other places are you used to wandering around ?

2005-10-07 [Delladreing]: Well I am usually up at Glencoe visting either friends or family. Loch Lomond shores too, there are some spectacular views there. Although I tend to get the train :p, no way I could walk to there lol, but I need to get some photos of there soon before winter sets in completely.

2005-10-07 [syagre]: I've been there, those places are briliant ! Glencoe's definitely among my favs', and I really like around the Loch Lomond. Once I tried to bathe in it, but no way, in april it's definitely too cold ! I've been to Ben Lomond, too (by foggy weather, alas...). Anyway I'd be looking forward to seeing these new pics of yours

2005-10-07 [Delladreing]: Hehe yes, bathing in Lomond is not a good idea at that time of year. I went out on a boat about that time, put my hand in the water and thought I was going to lose my fingers lol. And Ben Lomond is another place I need to get photos of :p thank you for reminding me

2005-10-07 [syagre]: What else ? Should you take a panoramic photo set from Arthur's Seat, in Edinburgh ?

2005-10-07 [Delladreing]: ...I actually thought I might have that somewhere...hmm I will need to look. I think I might have taken it before I got my digital camera so it would probably be crap qulaity once I scanned it in...hmm *adds it to her to do list* I want to get some photos of Edinburgh at Hogmanay, they are always good.

2005-10-07 [syagre]: Uh, unfortunately I've missed Hogmanay. I can't see how it'd look like... I should wait for your pics then ! Otherwise, have you got pics from the islands, like Aran, Mull or the Hebrides ? I wish i could have been there...

2005-10-07 [Delladreing]: Hmm I might have some, but they are not taken by me, if I have any they will be in my fathers workshop. And will be about 30 years old lol. My parents used to travel a lot before I was born. I will maybe look for more photos later, but not tonight, I am suddering from flu, and as you can imagine, sorting through over 200 photos is not what I want to be doing just now ;)

2005-10-07 [syagre]: *laugh* ny bother, pal ! Personaly, I'm off to bed very soon... got to help a friend for some moving-in about 400 miles away...
