Oh, I meant the Hawaiian beaches.
And don't forget the 40s. Even though Austrians like to deny it. :wink:
 
that's why i picked this photo, but because of the lay of the land this was the furthest away i could get without losing the lake to stuff in the foreground.
yeah, that was the only bad thing about that place. well, and all the climbing :lol: but take this photo for example that we took of the artist's palette:

since you can't take an aerial shot or anything, it's pretty and all but stock photos such as this are better:

plus then the name of the thing actually makes sense.

Wow - I love everyone's photos! :love:

I was visiting my parents for a week, and on Saturday night, we had a massive thunder and lightning storm that went on for about 6 hours. It was pure craziness. I took these pictures about 2 or 3 hours into it. The pictures don't even do it justice - it was so beautiful outside.

The rest of these were taken later on. You can kinda see a bolt of lightning there in the last one:

It was a beautiful storm to watch.
 
I'd love to get some lightning photos. :drool: I just don't have a good vantage point here at my home (the area's so flat!). :) Now if a storm were to come in off the ocean, I could be at any of 4-5 beaches in about 15 minutes - but then the problem becomes 1) having a dry, secure place to shoot from, 2) timing of the storm v/s my availability, and 3) being skilled enough to capture something that happens in the blink of an eye!! :camera:
