Blinding church in Reykjavik, Iceland



Oooh! Been there! It's the Hallgrimskirkja, and it's beautiful, and the views from the tower are amazing...

I met Capes when I was a kid. He was opening a sports centre that my Dad had designed in some godforsaken West Sussex town. Seemed a top bloke and had the most powerful handshake I have ever experienced.

Meall Corranaich on Saturday

Conditions best described as "variable"





I know they are not that quality, but not sure where else to put them.

I think thats a stunning shot, really well composed, conditions look pretty grim and this conveys it perfectly, good work.

Was great fun, but knackering walk in touring boots, and got blisters on my shins. Still snowing like mental in the mountains (all cairngorms ski resorts are currently inaccessible due to closed roads). Hope it holds until weekend, first time in a while that Scottish resorts are open later than some continental ones. Ski after work is even a vague possibility!

Cheers, will pass on compliment, but unfortunatley I cannot claim it though, I forgot to take camera. Me in the bottom two though.

 :agree: Perhaps not stunning but certainly a quality photograph.. capturing not just the moment but more.

Not sure about quality, but interesting nonetheless, if only the geological aspect. Also, do you think it would be as popular if the walk in was this steep?

I'm certain SA Chris's snaps were taken in the Hoth System.  Surprised there are no Taun-Taun's to be seen.

Not the usual spectacle whilst driving out to Stanage for an evenings cragging...







Its all about the c'mmunity



"Its shot t'fuck, its gonna need a complete overhaul"



Apologies for the shameless plugging of my pics, the lady who was driving was fine, she said the engine literally caught fire whilst she was driving, so she sensibly pulled over and got out sharpish.  One rather brave cyclist pedaled through the black billowing smoke before the fire brigade turned up.....whilst the tyres were still going pop!!!  He got through fine thankfully.

Fortunately (to an extenet) it was a diesel, so there wasn't as much chance of the fuel-tank exploding as there would have been had it been petrol.

It was an Isuzu of sorts, not sure of the model I'm afraid.

Impressive fire there slack---line.

Here's a couple that were linked on Reddit:




Not quality in itself but a pretty impressive bit of driving, if you can call it that

That owl is great, good find Bubba.

The first pic is no longer linked as I replaced it with a slightly cropped version to remove the edge of the fire engine...
