Nice pictures Capt, that is some pretty impressive scenery. I like the sunlight on the cobble`s, the contrast changes within the picture are great.
I like the color`s in the picture of the band too, the wood that the stand up bass and the piano case are made from adds a lot of warmth to the scene...

What sort of equipment do you use Capt ?

[paygee]

the pictures are too big to see them all on the page at once, kinda hard to tell.

What sort of equipment do you use Capt ?
they are from a couple different amazing places. i use a canon s5is and sometimes i remember to bring my tiny tripod with me, but most of the time i forget it at home. i don't have any special lenses or anything cool like that.
the decor at the place that band plays looks like they robbed a value village. its pretty awesome.

if you are using firefox you can copy the link location and open it in a new tab and it will shrink it to fit your screen. i guess that is kind of a pain in the ass. i like them big because they fit on my screen.

what i do is right-click on the image, choose 'View Image' and it opens in a separate tab (you may have to click on the image to enlarge it).

Number 2 for the win. Good work.

[Capt]

sorry to have insulted you in such an obvious way

[paygee]

you didn't insult me, i was just joking

i also didnt know i could full view them in a diff window

[Capt]

i would say that i probably misunderstand the tone of things i read about 90% of the time

[paygee]

capt, what kind of camera do you have?

[Capt]

canon s5is

[bleuMadonna]

I think they are all really good, but I like No. 2, and the very pinkish one near the end the best. And the one that looks like a church or something.

[Capt]

the church one was in gøteborg (gothenburg) sweden. i got a cool picture of a house that i think turned out better, but its not nearly as cool because its a house and not a church

http://i44.tinypic.com/2gtn19x.jpg

Very cool, indeed. That's a cool house.

[Pun'KinG']

Lots of grays and sepias I would imagine. So, Cappy is this trip to CR business or pleasure?

[Capt]

the business of pleasure

umm.. playing in a ultimate frizbee tournament in plzen and going a few days early to see prague

[Pun'KinG']

Mmmm...Prague. It's in there! :capt:

Man, I want to visit Europe also. Sounds essential.

[Capt]

depending on who you talk too this will be my first visit to europe

since i was by myself for two days i drank a lot of beers and read some henrik ibsen. this series of photos in no way represents the total number of beers i drank while reading. i also didnt always read while i drank beer

one of the best vending machines ever

except for the instructions on how to prove you are the correct age to receive beer. this was so weird and the machine beeps randomly as you swipe your passport through the slot. i think you have to swipe the passport 4 or 5 times correctly in a row before the light comes on so you can buy beer. if you take too long putting in coins then you have to start again.

Nice pics Capt, it looks a very cool place to waste a few days drinking beer and reading. I liked the tags on the other side of the river bank as well. Don,t get too wasted on the cheap beer and those statues are a bit on the weird side did you find out who sculpted them ?

[Capt]

the statues are actually in oslo (i am back in town now)

it is in vigelandsparken and the sculptor is gustav vigeland

i am excellent. winter is almost over here and i was unaware it ever really started. seems a bit quick. everything is good.

capt, that sculpture is very interesting, you have some awesome shit to take pictures of

thanks. that park full of sculptures is really weird and cool. theres some funny stuff in there as well as tons of nudity.

[bleuMadonna]

Glad to hear you are doing so well, capt :smile:

[Capt]

i am going to denmark (copenhagn) this afternoon. this will be, as far as i know, the first time in a very very long time that anyone in my small family ventures back to the fatherland. plus i get to take a boat. and i am going with 3 girls.

It looks like a really cool place Capt, where you chased by a police helicopter after pulling off a bank job with the three girls at some point during the trip, or was it just a random one that flew over your ship at night ? ...:eee:...


Also did that cheap beer give you a headache ?

[Capt]

something like that yes absolutely

i didnt buy the beer because i didn't know my duty free quota and had no way to carry 3 crates of beer

[... Scott]

3 girls = 1 crate of beer each, even I can do the math for that one ...:what:...

Are you in one place for a while now or are you going to be moving around scoping out the place looking for a safe hideout and a place to stash the gold ?

[Capt]

back in oslo already. ill be here for a while but mostly not on the weekends

i am probably gonna go to stockholm soon

[Capt]

http://i41.tinypic.com/2r6jp54.jpg

[Capt]

my next few travel locations..

narvik (for some snowboarding on the 17th april)
marseilles (april 24th)
bergen (may 1)

[sneakypete]

will you go to copenhagen soon?

[Capt]

i got back from copenhagen almost two weeks ago

[sneakypete]

did you go to freetown? what does that place do when it's cold out?

[Capt]

it never gets cold in denmark. freetown was cool. the hash was good. it wasn't the idealistically happy paradise-town that you might expect but i think it was nicer than amsterdam. there is pics (most of the place is no pictures allowed) of some of the graffiti on previous pages

[sneakypete]

oh, I must have missed them. I thought it dipped below 50s. I enjoyed freetown way more than amsterdam, maybe because I wasn't in a crazy party/hooker mood while in amsterdam. I was looking to stock up for the rest of my travels into finland and laplands.

yes, the hash there is good, like loafs of bread.

[Capt]

i guess your definition of cold differs from mine.. i find oslo to be really warm during the winter.. cold in my mind means less than -40f or else somewhere in the neighbourhood and also windy.

i will definitely be visiting again on my way into europe this summer

[sneakypete]

I should have worded that differently.

Do the hippies wear shoes and coats whilst standing at their huts when it is a tad chilly?

[Capt]

no idea it was nice when i was there

[sneakypete]

hmmm...ok, please report back to me when you find out. kthx.

[Capt]

the answer is yes

http://i42.tinypic.com/15cecjm.jpg


this brings my total of snowboards used to 5 for 6 days of snowboarding this winter. i didn't break a board (for 2 consecutive days) at a resort which was above the treeline and had so much snow that all the rocks were nicely covered.

[... Scott]

The pics are really cool capt and I bet the slopes where a lot steeper than they look, I hope that you did not have to put a deposit on that snowboard and if you did they should have supplied you with sturdier equipment.

The church ceiling looks as though it has secret masonic code scattered around the dome and if I could write novels I would use it as a reference piece for my next book...:asif:... Hands off Dan Brown it was my idea first ! ...:lol:...

Just how is the beer in France Capt (if you are still there that is) I heard they flavour it with garlic and stick froggy emblems on the front of the bottles...

[Capt]

i was only there for a weekend watching the horrifying spectacle of the marathon. kroneberg 1664 is pretty tasty and also they had some kinds of leffe and grimbergen(both belgian) that i hadn't tried which were both strong and tasty. also i drank lots of wine and brought lots of wine back with me. even their 3rd cheapest champagne was pretty good. and french cheese is also cheap and tasty.
that church was super weird because the dome part is like a greek church and the rest of it is like a french church. it sits on top of the biggest hill in the city (greek tradition), so the pics of views of the city were all taken from walking around the church. the weather was really nice on friday, saturday and monday but it rained like shit on sunday (marathon day).

the slopes were pretty steep by norwegian standards (their mountains are round at the tops... weird) but manageable. my board was promptly replaced at no charge. i somehow managed to ruin 2/5 snowboards i used this winter during 6 days of snowboarding. awesome.

im off to bergen tomorrow with my parents so ill have some interesting pictures from that wheni get back

[... Scott]

Cool, I look forward to seeing them, they are some places that I will probably never visit so it is nice to have a first hand look at them. The last place on earth I would wish to find myself is on top of a mountain with a piece of carbon fiber ? attached to my feet and a one in 10 gradient in front of me covered in snow. I would be calling for mountain rescue and waiting for them to arrive with a large bottle of brandy.

I did forget the French do make good cheese and grow nice grapes. I hope you enjoy Bergen. Have a great time and watch out falling tourists and try not to break any more boards ... :lol:

[Capt]

ill do my best not to break any more snowboards. i think the danger is over until november. thanks for stopping in

i am having difficulty packing because of how hungover i am... i went to bed at like 1030am this morning
