This must have been photographed a million times, it is from the Sass Pordoi (2950m).

The road below is the Passo Pordoi (2239m). This photo, as well as the others from the Dolomites, is from last March.

Heavily off-topic: I climbed it by bike last July (3x), also the Sella (2244m), Gardena (2121m), Campolongo (1875m), Giau (2236m), Falzarego (2105m), Valparola (2192m).

Impressive, to say the least!

Merlin, it may seem so to you, if you do not do this kind of thing. But the roads there are full of cyclists in the summer. There is more money in the bikes on the road than in the cars. 🙂 My ride certainly was not impressive, I was one of the slowest. I had a complicated year last year. In March, skiing there, I had an accident while helping the son of our friends who has Asperger's Syndrome. I had an operation on my knee in April, I had to wear a fixed orthesis and walk on crutches till end of May. I could start cycling only after it went off. I had to put my sadle as high as possible at first, because I could not bend my knee properly etc. So in July, I was not in good shape at all. But we were so delighted with the area that we wanted to go back, so my wife and my sons did hiking, with some friends of ours, and I worked on my bike to get my knee back into shape.

Marvelous photographs of aamazing Nature scenes, George!

Well, I just pressed a button on an amazing little camera 🙂 and I was lucky to be in the most photographed mountains in Europe (which they obviously are for good reason). Thanks, Merlin. It is great to see your shots from New Mexico. I will most probably never get to go there to see it for myself.

You are the shiznit, George!

Are you teaching me English again, Merlin ? I lichens it  🙂. And I am glad you didn’t leave out the “the” 😀 . You are very kind as usual, but it was a day with glorious weather in a beautiful location, so I was more lucky than anything else. Thanks a lot, cheers !

You already know the grand scheme of things: an obscenely beautiful landscape, gorgeous weather and a clueless lucky tourist hastily snapping away quick shots on a family holiday. But I will post a few more, I reckon it would be wrong not to share the incredible beauty of these mountains.

The Sella Towers.

Good one. Btw, is moss edible ? My son called me a goat today.
(When I caught him, he said cool down Dad, that means "Greatest of All Things":).

Weeeeeelllll, I do not recommend making them part of a complete, nutritious breakfast, but yeah they are edible.

This site has a recipe for Icelandic Lichen Flatbread.

    • X Raw Studio works with image files on your computer - not the image files on the camera card
    • Hello. Thankyou,now Is all more clear: I have take some time in your link. Let tell you. I has totaly forget this machine have "compress picture option" and not Only "compress lossless" anyway not change the experiment. RAW  and this last two format look like same result about Number of recording picture. Can tell all results in this: in raw you can make 17 pictures for second. Is wrong. Is about One single Press and wait buffer. Full 30/20/10/8 not change. After 17 Need Press again. You not can Press before "redgreen light recording Is on".   With preshot you can have 25  are more 7 pictures . The story change Only in jpg shot only. In jpg at 30 you have 30 picture but redgreen light off very Fast so you can shot very quicly. At 20 shot Is about start look like infinite shot. 60. So the best performance are this last One  about Speed and recording picture after camera working witout big limit. I want take a shot about Italy cyclet Just for passion. I think i Will use this last setting.  After Need check when battery not are full change and ambient temp.  Anyway my cam look like exactly specific about you link. Im Happy my cam working perfectly.
    • I do not use Flickr, so I do not know what their BB code is. All I did was copy the second link you provided, (starting at https: and ending at  _k.jpg — leave off the [img] and [/img] tags) and pasted it into the message. After a moment, a message popped up asking if I wanted to paste it as the image or as a plain link. I did this twice, the first time I had it paste in as the image and the second time as a link. Nothing fancy or tricky.
    • So do I just copy the BB code from flickr and paste it anywhere on the page like other forums or is there some other trick I need to perform to get it to post?
