I like your set of pictures of this beautiful part of France and Spain. Its a region I would love to visit. I most enjoyed the village scene in Gavarnie with the towering snow covered rocks in the background.

Well seen set of pictures which work for me in black and white. The burned out highlights in No.3 don't match up to the excellence of the other pictures. Tell me No. 4 was posed? If that was a natural shot grabbed as seen you must have been doing cartwheels of delight at spotting it.

I like the way you've selected the shapes and angles to create a perfect architectural abstract.

Our trip to Whitby was worth it. Apart from the photos we would never be able to capture in any other location this thread has attracted more than 50 replies and 2,200 views. Thanks to Gareth for kick starting it with the first picture sent from his car, presumably on a laptop. It was good to meet everyone on the trip and to chat to the Goths, many of them are remarkable characters.

Steam Punks and Locos
While we were stalking Goths in Whitby some Pentax guys were chasing a steam train in Chester. I got the best of both worlds. After photographing Steam Punks and Goths I went to the North Yorkshire Moors Railway and snapped this veteran freight engine. This LNWR 'Super D' must be about 100 years old but it was chuffing well up the incline into Goathland.

Apart from the weird and wonderful costumes there were some stunning looking woman dressed up especially for us photographers at Whitby.

Has anyone noticed, Alan seems to have stopped being an Impotent Spider, now he's a Fat Spider. Must be the Whitby fish'n chips.

Hi Sherryl. You are most welcome here. There's at least one other Tennessee member, Giving Tree from Memphis, but I guess that's at the opposite end of Tennessee from the Smokey Mountains.

So while some of us were chasing Goths in Whitby at the weekend you guys were enjoying yourselves in Chester. You got some good shots, I love the humorous ones. As for the black Duchess, I'm waiting for it to come a bit nearer to Durham (Carlisle perhaps?) and then I'm determined to snap it. You managed to get good pictures of it, despite the angle of the sun.

Thanks Gareth.
