That's a beautiful place, Edwardian. Nice fotos.

The Cliffs of Mother in Ireland. 700 feet up + 50 mph wind = Adventure. At least as far as I'm concerned. lol

This last one is down a ways from the cliffs, but I thought it was a cool shot anyway.

Thanks. Sadly, those locations probably won't even exist within 20 years. Mining companies are blasting away all the mountains in West Virginia.

Those are some fantastic Ireland pics, Oktobr!

Oktobr, isn't Ireland breathtaking? It's also a photographer's paradise. Nice pics, sir.

 

[Hemingway Jones]

Thanks, it was!

It was truly breathtaking, you're 100% right about that. The only downside was we didn't make it up to Northern Ireland to see Giant's Causeway. Good thing, there's always a next time.

Yes, now you have an excuse to go back.

Who needs an excuse to go back to the home of Guniness?!

Yes indeed!

For real. Just go to Ireland and enjoy the Guinness!

But sadly for me that's not an option right now. Yesterday got a couple plane rides, here is the photo of the corn maze that I took from the Cessna ride



Didn't get a ride in this one, have yet to get a proper ride in a taildragger, but I did get to try steering on the ground. It's really hard but it was a lot of fun, though I did a terrible job lol



Will post photos of the RV-9 when I get them. Got to take the stick for a while and it was a blast!

 

[Blackthorn]

Nice pics, Kitty, thanks for sharing!

 

[HepKitty]

No problem not really what one would expect in an outdoors thread, but it's certainly not an indoors thing. Besides I didn't want to start a new thread

Just wait until you see the RV-9. I hope they turned out ok, I haven't seen them yet

 

[Blackthorn]

Kitty...what's an RV-9?

Kitty...what's an RV-9?

A plane that you buy as a kit and build yourself. I guess you get quite sick of rivets. Anyway it's cool because you can choose your instruments and panel, engine and prop, and of course paint.

Wow, interesting, Kitty!

My father was a pilot so as a kid I went up in all types of small planes. One of my favorite was the Piper Cub.

Gijoe,

Are the boots your friend is wearing, in the Bergmutze and scarf, vintage Gebirgsjager boots or are they the Swiss equivalent or reproductions? I'm just curious because of the cleats I can see there & I have been searching all over the place for a pair similar to that at a reasonable price in my size. So far the search has been fruitless.
Thank you for any info you can provide. By the way, that hike sure looks like a fun one.

Cheers!

Dan

Interesting, Kitty, thanks for the pic.
