The colours in the last one are very nice - such a vivid burnt brown - and the sea looks like an oil slick!!!!

Wow Wangi ! Very messianic with the sea rolling back and the opening in the clouds above

I've run out of superlatives. What a stunning shot!!

I think we should fund a photo book of Wangi's best shots.

Great pics wangi

I wish I had half the talent you have.

Photo book would be good.

Congratulations Dada.

Thanks all... <<< blushes >>>

One of my many uncles was a sports photog on the Dalkeith News before I was born ... great snapper ... unfortunately, it's a talent that does not run in the family ... and I just point and click and end up being criticised anyway ...

So it's good to see photog talent is still out there. You should seriously consider a coffee table book of Porty Photies, Wangi and Daddio! Do a poll to find out what everyone thinks. I'd buy a copy.

Wangi, I'd definitely buy a copy, also seen some more pics I'd like to purchase, I'll pm you

After five very happy years, it was the last day for Emily at Brighton Nursery.

They are all bonkers in that library, and here's the proof!

One of them's not you "undercover", is it, Bob??

Cleopas, Bob looks just like his avatar

Cleopas · Post by **Cleopas** » 03 Aug 2006, 19:20

Okay ... but they can do wonders with make-up these days. Bob might be a master of disguises for all we know.

So I think my question is still legitimate.

I am a bit slow on reading the threads, so belated congratulations on your great news Dadaist. What a fantastic scan picture - we couldn't even tell if we were having a human from our one!

Pal of Porty · Post by **Pal of Porty** » 11 Sep 2006, 20:40

Wangi - pictures are fantastic and enormously enjoyable. I still find you have the abilty to surprise me even tho' I know the area well. I must walk around with my eyes shut.

Thought I'd put in a couple of nice " sunny" pics of Linlithgow palace, St Michaels Church and the Loch on this dull, dreary day!!!!

They were taken at the end of June.

Introducing a new photographer to Portobello Online. I met Vanessa Roy at the Porty Party and was very impressed with her work.

S'OK arachnid it was really Bob I was having a go at.

He was the one who came up with the rule in the first place

Really enjoyed your pics BTW. I haven't been to Linlithgow Palace for years. I remember getting a wee insight into how things must have been at the Royal court when I saw the 'vomitorium'.

Midlothian had an open doors day recently so I went to visit Penicuik house. The pictures are a slightly bigger

Bet the houses behind it are happy to have a great view of the sea now!!!

Oh, they were ...........................for a while. Have you not seen pictures of the great white monstrosity which went up in Grannies Attics place ?

No, what a shame they couldn't have left it that way!!
It's the same as here in Linlithgow, if there's an empty space it has to be built on!!!
They keep building houses and we're more in need of a car park so that visitors to the town have somewhere to park while they visit Linlithgow's sights!!!

I've been sent some great photos recently, and among my favourites are these from Penny Haywood:

Well I won't say what crossed my mind when I looked at the first one

I wonder why they appeal to you so much Bob ...did you ever get your head stuck in railings
