Cool ships there Loremaster.
Used to go see the HMS Bounty years ago when it was moored in St. Pete.
It is an interesting ship to board and tour on.

Thanks, Cheval.

I must be one of the few people who support Captain Bligh's actions. I think Fletcher Christian was wrong to mutiny (and all for a rather superficial reason).

Sad how the mutineers' descendants are being charged with child rape.

WHAT!?

Mabye I'm missunderstanding, but it sounds like you said they're being tried for crimes they didn't commit. My grandfather was a bomber pilot in WWII, does that mean I'M going to be charged with MURDER!? Where's the justice in THAT!

The mutineer's descendants have had sex with children and they are being charged (or have been imprisoned).

Ahh. Well now I'm a lot less freaked out.

These are some of my Whiskey Bay shots. Me, my partner and SoS spent about 4 hours here and then I stayed back to get sunset shots for another hour and a half so I had plenty of time to relax and scout out good angles. These ones are pre-sunset.

1) Whiskey Bay rocks. These are actually massive.
2, 3, 4) Shots taken along the stream that runs into Whiskey Bay (#3 is my favorite, I think)
5) Looking back at the large Whiskey Bay rocks. If I weren't so lazy I'd slightly rotate this.

Thanks! It was really bizzare, because it was so hot, and this mist came out fo nowhere. It only stayed for a few minutes too.

Edge, not many people have a waterfall just "down the road" from their house. Beautiful!

Balon, that sunlit mist shot... :Hail:

Meanwhile, more dragonfly pics from me:

I love the the purplish dragonfly the most...it is one handsome creature. I love the intricate design on its tail.

I wish I still had as many dragonflies around my house as there was when I was a kid. Good shots, man! :D
