Awesome picture, always wanted to go there but always went to Europe instead. Someday hopefully.

This thread needs many many more pictures.

[ullmandds]

been to austria and cambodia...I'll add bosnia!

[Griffins]

Someone needs to clue Jon Canfield onto this thread. He's an amazing photographer that is very well travelled.

[Griffins]

Ben, Cambodia is one of my favorite places in the world. do whatever you can to get there.

[Paul S]

Okay, since I've been to Bosnia (hi Pete) when it was part of the former Yugoslavia - I will toss my hat in the ring for what is now the Czech Republic, also in the same Iron Curtain timeframe. I was only in Prague and never made it to what is now Slovakia, so will leave that for someone else as per the "one man, one country at a time" rule.

Unfortunately I cannot post photographs since they reside at my ex-spouses place, where all men fear to tread

Also, how to handle Antarctica? Claimed by many and none at all...depending upon who is doing the talking.

Agree. If you took no photos in a country you visited, at least post a postcard if you have one.

[Griffins]

ok, bogged down in Czech. Someone has to have been there!

[ullmandds]

ive been to prague...just no pics to prove it as they are all too big for this site!!!!! But I have the sore feet to prove it...and I ate Carp!!!!

[ullmandds]

And I will add Jordan.

The mystical Greek Island of Santorini in the Aegean Sea (Mediterranean)....the home of Atlantis.

Until my house goes on the market next year and I can get my stuff out (photos included) this will have to suffice.

[Griffins]

No one else besides Ted has been to Greece? Didn't think we'd be stalled on a relatively easy one?

[ullmandds]

ive been to greece...but ted did not follow the rules...therefore I did not respond.

without rules...there's anarchy!

"The rules of a single madman are destiny to multitudes." As penance, Ted should donate his T-Bird to Frank's Auto Trade-Up thread.

[Cmount76]

Since Ted is donating his car to the ultimate trade up and Frank is accepting his donation and response of Greece... I have been to Greece. However, before I got there, I spent some quality time in Italy.

[Corporal Lance Boil]

I think I know what has happened. Because Frank refused to oversee this thread in jack-booted style, it has been left somewhat open to interpretation.

Ted has simply assumed that because the Greeks, at the time of their utmost power, controlled a wide swath of Asia as well as the Helenistic world, that Jordan and Greece WERE the same country, as they were under the same control.

It's an understandable mistake, and I'm happy to first-assist Frank here

I haven't had the time to pull the pictures off my old phone yet, but one of my friends who was on the India trip with me is a film major, and he made a documentary about it, on YouTube here.

Thank you for sharing. Really like the demonstration of 3 color printing on the piece of cotton.

Are we stuck in Cuba?

El Duque got out.

I have seen Cuba from the deck of a cruise ship. Does that count?

If so, I would add Russia

Hi Frank....after 6 days, it's time to give this thread a friendly bump.

And. I would like to thank you for posting the picture of the Church of the Resurrection in St. Petersburg (Russia). It is a well-renown and historic Cathedral.

I meant to post these pictures in my post #33 here.

Aerial view of the Acropolis in Athens......



A scene from the Island of Rhodes. One of my favorite movies, The Guns of Navarone (circa 1961), was filmed on Rhodes. Shown here is the location
of the cliff-climbing scenes with Gregory Peck, Anthony Quinn, David Niven, etc. in this movie. The film won the Academy Award for Special Effects.
If you've seen this movie and have visited Rhodes, you'll appreciate why it won this Award.

wait, we're back in Greece again?
I'm so confused

[egri]

I thought I took a lot of pictures in India, but looking through it, it seems like I didn't take that many. Here are some of the highlights:



This girl was one of the first beggars we saw; I took this one on the bus leaving the airport. She had just crawled out from underneath that sheet on the left when I took the picture.



I wanted to take a ride in one of those rickshaws...then I actually did. Riding in one of those will keep my cardiologist in business for a long time. They don't have shock absorbers or anything to protect you in a crash, and they sit lower than just about everything on the road. Riding through Delhi rush hour traffic in one of those was an experience.



The Taj Mahal, in Agra. We got there right as the sun was setting. As an engineer, it's incredible to think they built it without calculus.
