hi douglas (the exiled man :-) actually we didn't go up there, but if you consider that the latest 6 years we flown 3 times in great britain and 3 time to norway, you understand that "never say never" is well said. i like great britain landscape, your country colors, the greens, the light brown wall and roofs of your houses, wonderful parks and lovely small villages. even your red telephone cabin and postbox. of course the terrace cafe in brighton! in 2007 we drove 150 km to be there for a cappuccino looking the sea in the cold wind (and some rain) :-)) oh, and before i die i still hope to fly to falkland islands. in the meantime i'd fly to faroer islands. not that different, i suppose. and of course i'm waiting for your trip to tuscany. fg 2008/12/13 Douglas Sharp <douglas.sharp@xxxxxx> > Flavio, Philippe, > > you missed the BEST part - the County of Yorkshire - mountains (at least > very high hills :-) ) rolling plains, high cliffs and long beaches on the > coast, the best beers in the UK. > > The landscapes vary from wild and desolate to luxuriant green. > > Historical cities like York, where Constantine was devlared Emperor in AD > 306. > > Many castles, monasteries, cathedrals. > > Home of the Bronte sisters, Captain Cook and Dracula (yes, Yorkshire, not > Transylvania - the story starts in the coastal town of Whitby) > > The birthplace of the industrial revolution and the railways. > > Here are a few impressions of Englands largest county: > > http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/DMS/New-Old-Pictures/Yorkshire/?g2_page=1 > > Cheers from a Yorkshireman in exile. > Douglas > > > > > ------ > Unsubscribe or change to/from Digest Mode at: > http://www.lrflex.furnfeather.net/ > Archives are at: > //www.freelists.org/archives/leicareflex/ > -- FLAVIO GORI NASA The Inspire Project European Coordinator http://image.gsfc.nasa.gov/poetry/inspire http://www.LoScrittoio.it Edizioni in Rete Pictures: http://web.mac.com/fgori http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/iKlee/ http://flaviogori.googlepages.com/home
