Not quite up to the standards of the others, but I didn't want this thread to die.

Those pictures are awesome! Green everywhere, water that wasn't stolen, trees that weren't planted, buildings that are more than 20 years old.

My next trip to Europe is going to be renting a car and driving on backroads through England, Wales, and Scotland.

Now if I can just overcome the language barrier...

More like if you can get used to our narrow roads :wink:

If you do venture over here. Castleton is quite easy to reach from London just drive up the M1 motorway Junction 29. Pass through the Derbyshire town of Chesterfield which has a crooked church spiral that in medieval times the devil supposidly sat on to spit at the inhabitants down below. And you'l get to the hope valley where Castleton is.

That sounds awesome - I am seriously going to do that next Spring/Summer. Now if I can just figure out where to rent a Land Rover Defender for two weeks, I'll be set...

Drove my Jeep to a remote asteroid made famous by a historic confrontation between a Federation starship captain and an alien lizard-man.

Did you see the new Simon Pegg movie Paul?

They did exactly that early in the movie, but they ran away when other people showed up...

No but I shall seek it out now. Anyway heres some Landscapes from my part of the world that I took from my phone two weeks ago..

This is the Shard. It will be the tallest building in London once completed.

Image

The River Thames from London bridge, in the distance you can see Tower Bridge and the Southampton Class Light Cruiser HMS Belfast from world war 2 that protected convoys between the UK and Canada/US from German U-Boats

Image

The view from the south side of London Bridge going across to the North side of the River

Image

The city hall of Sheffield a week or so ago

Image

Well I always find this message in town quite reassuring. :lol:

Your better off where you are, London is seriously too expensive. Wait for a property crash you might be ok to come over then :lol:

I'd like to visit California at some point although L.A sounds like a horrid place all of these landscapes you post on here Grisha look fantastic
