Let's do Germany or 1924, next. I can't remember if I've played this one before - probably - but if so, it's been a while. [IMG] Edit- yup, I...
Yes, the nice pictorials seem to come out in batches, usually when I'm stinkin' broke, and then it's a desert for a while again.

Actually, looking back at my PMs, I see now that it was @TypeCoin971793 and not @Paddy54 who gave me the heads-up (though I had already seen it...

Awesome shot!!! I lived in Tanzania, East Africa as a 6-7 year old kid, so I'm familiar with scenes like that. I did not own a camera then, but...
@sonlarson - awesome pix! Love that lake, and your "elk wrangling" shot! Such a tiny, cute little critter! :p @Lester Maddox - I'd love to see...
