Hey people
Its time we sexy up this board. Post your best photographs..
If there is a story associated - let us know in brief

Here is one I took in Papua New Guinea. It was on a flight from one island to the other. The pilots came to me and said they are sorry but due to a medical emergency they had to take a patient to the other island and were about to use my seat and they are very sorry and ask my permission to put me on a jump-seat. That didn't sound good - I though it meant I had to wait for the next available plane and hope it will have a free seat - but medical emergency! so I said ok.. So they said "Come with us"..
Do you know what jumpseat is? ITS THE SEAT BETWEEN THE TWO PILOTS

OMG! That was the BEST flight I had EVER!!! Words can not describe it.. but a picture might do a little good

Got to a tribe living in a vally that is surrounded 360 degrees by mountains ridge. The mountains are so high and great that there anre no clouds in the sky, they are blocked by the mountains and has to go around the village

Look how small the plane looks even when he is so much closer than the mountains in the back..

MegaGiga · 02-15-2003, 01:45 PM

My home town, the other side..

If you like diving then you have to go to the red sea! We have some of the best coral reefs in the world!

Pidgin · 02-15-2003, 02:34 PM

OK. Here is a story for you..
I was in a sail in the pacific ocean on the shores of PNG (papua new guinea) when in the distance we saw an island..
There was somethig strange about it - some cloude above it...

When I came close it became clear what it is ...

BATMAN

Coming to the island MILLIONS of batmans (fruit bats) flew above the island (picture dont show huw much unfortunatelly)

And the island is AMAZING - small - you could run around it in 2 minutes.. and the water... GOD DAMN

Ok, now I'm totally depressed...I look outside and all I see is snow!

XxXotic · 02-15-2003, 08:00 PM

Mister X · 02-15-2003, 08:06 PM

Damn. I am so friggin' jealous!

But not of XXXotic, hehe.

Pidgin · 02-15-2003, 09:34 PM

Time for some scary shit

SPIDERS

The first I had to take a shower with. You can not start to imagine how big he was (larger (150%) than the size of a CD). and SCARY. Whenever I tried to move left, he did that as well - following me. DAMN
The second was in the jungle. I have more pics of spiders but they are not closeups like those.

Don't be depressed girl, I got snow pictures as well

These ones were taken in a mountain climb I did in Nepal.
The first one is panoramic, cause nothing else can describe the beauty of it.
The second I like to call... "The road ahead"

I think it demonstrates the enormity of that thing to some extent

Exactly for that reason I recommend building the building next time near the water

This picture was taken in the Sepik (a very big river in PNG). I took shelter in it when a rain storm hit me during a canoo ride I took down the river. If it was not for this huge hut I would have drown in my canoo

or worst - drop in the water and eaten by crocodiles

Pidgin · 02-16-2003, 11:40 AM

Whats going on here people???
I see I am alone here

Where are all you high-q photos

Here is a sunset for you to ponder about..
Location: Thailand, The island of Kopanghan

Pidgin · 02-16-2003, 05:11 PM

Hey twinkley..
You have to do that..
1. upload your picture to your site.
2. write this in the message
< IMG SRC = "h t t p :// w w w .twinkley.com/image.jpg">
DO NOT use spaces like I did

I did it only so it will show the text instead of trying to present the picture.

hehehe.... I've seen many pics like that one... good one.
Do you remember that evening at all?

Here's a couple I took, but the originals at full size are much nicer.

Pidgin · 02-17-2003, 01:12 PM

EvilChris: You didnt take pictures of the fighting and beating? No hockey game is complete without those

Twinkley: Nice 2 sunsets - pictures 1 and 4

But I gove some more for you

(tell you the truth Im more enchanted with the clouds in sunsets than with the sun itself

OK - Time for a photosession

Starting with Papua New-Guinea
A sail to an island.. sunsets in the middle of the ocean are the most beautiful..

IMG SRC="http://www.xxxmanager.com/docs/fun/png15.jpg">

Then some more pictures from Thailand.. Same place as before, another day

And how can we finish without a sunset?

Pidgin · 02-17-2003, 01:26 PM

Oh Oh

And one last one - from Papua new Guinea
Right after I was fishhooked

The story is - we were sailing to hunt a turtle. I was excited but at the same time horrified about the prospect. Turtle are dangered animal - so I was hoping we will fail (I couldn't really tell them not to)
So after we successfully failed to catch the turtle cause he dived

we went fishing

Unfurtunatelly the fishhook pierced my palm. and DAMN! THAT IS PAINFULL for shit-long time.

And so you'll know how "WE" do it in PNG

Yep - thats our hunting/fishing boart

Pidgin · 02-17-2003, 08:16 PM

Ok

I have GOT to put this one in full size.
This one makes me cry every time I see it, remembering how beautiful was that day

This one is from Nepal
On the way to a place called Yakraka on the Anapurna mountain ridge.
This picture was taken in a vally 3600 meters high
ART! Pure art
