Not personally, but I thought we could do some around the world shots since Cory wants to see more pics.
Oh, rulez...
1) Pics have to be taken by you or by somebody on the trip with you - no google thievery.
2) No hitting of the hair or face - and that's it!

Oh a world traveller thread. Nice! :applaud:
Unfortunately I've not been anywhere off this continent. I've been all over Canada and the USA, but no one wants to see pictures of the same old ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---.
Keep 'em coming though, I love seeing pictures from other places!

I've been to 25+ countries. I need to organize my pics better, I have years worth that aren't even digital. Once the kids get a bit older we'll do the good ol' US of A more in depth. Since they've been young we've been capitalizing on places that we want to go. Once they're older we'll focus domestically for at least half the time so they get a good grounding and familiarity with their home nation. Right now though it's pins in maps.
Keep the pics coming. I'll get to more of mine later.
Very nice idea Chuck meister. You take a good photo fella (I'm assuming you took them). Northern Thailand is beautiful something about "Chiang Mai women being some of the most beautiful in the world" from memory.

Great, I would love to see some pics of your homeland, just rotate them so they're right side up for all us Northern Hemisphere types ;D
About Thailand - it is simply the best place I've ever visited. My wife and I fell in love with the people, culture, and scenery. We went from Bangkok to Chiang Mai then up the river in a long tail boat to Chiang Rai. From there we ducked into Laos and Burma before zipping down for a week in Koh Chiang. We attended a Badong wedding, were blessed by Burmese refugee elder along the river, took elephants swimming, and played with tiger cubs...among a thousand other things. We have planning to move there for a year once I'm done with the military.
Once place we haven't made it to yet is Australia, but that's definitely on the list. We want to get stationed in Korea in the next ten years so will likely do a lot more of that side of the world once we're (hopefully) living over there.
Amsterdam... and you show us wooden shoes and windmills?! :angry:
Heh, I'm not entirely comfortable with pics of myself on the public interwebs so I try and make sure there is nothing that could impact my career in any way. Certain organizations have a way of trolling one's net presence to ensure compliance.

Does this count? I didn't take the pic but I was there at the time and it is my backyard or used to be anyway. Disappointingly I have no photos "the sights"

No wonder the Germans lost the war, everywhere I went, they were swilling beer :duckhunt
Tank is a beautiful replica (from Peter Jacksons studios) , made entirely of plastic and fibreglass. Fully working. Even the tracks were plastic! It was like a giant Tamiya plastic kit, with an engine in it (",)
-
This is in the Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre, funded by Peter Jackson, Whom I believe also lent many of his FX guys, which is why these dioramas look so good. The first pic for instance is an Eitrich Taube. An actual flying replica of one. Check out the observer have a crack at the enemy with his bolt action rifle!
Second pic is of a Kiwi fighter ace. His story:
A diorama depicting Kiwi ace Lieutenant Keith Logan 'Grid' Caldwell. The story:
During September 1918 while attacking German aircraft late in the day at about 7,000 feet over the Cambrai sector, Caldwell and fellow 74 Squadron member Carlin, collided badly, damaging Carlin's tail and Caldwell's wings. Carlin managed to land safely behind the lines but Caldwell's SE5a went into a dive. After the aircraft had lost about 2,000 ft the dive gradually developed into a right-handed semi-flat spin. Caldwell climbed out of the cockpit as if preparing to jump (although he did not have a parachute*) when he realised that by placing his left foot on the lower port mainplane and, grasping the port centre-section strut with his left hand he was able to stabilise his aircraft, flying it with his right hand and foot. He deduced that if he could manage to balance the damaged machine for long enough in this manner, he may just be able to reach the ground with enough control to survive the ordeal. Displaying considerable skill and resource, Caldwell succeeded in guiding his crippled aircraft so that it barely cleared the front line trenches and, just as it was about to crash, he jumped off and turned a few somersaults on the ground. He then stood up, brushed himself off and walked to the nearest trench asking to use the telephone. Some reports indicate that Caldwell "Took charge of the drinking" while he awaited the arrival of the tender that would take him back to his airfield. On returning to base, Caldwell enjoyed a good night's sleep before setting off on a dawn patrol the following morning. Only on return from that mission did he lodge his report of the dramatic events of the day before!
*Note: The option of 'baling out' to descend to the ground by parachute was not available to members of the Royal Flying Corps. British authorities would not issue such equipment fearing that pilots would use them unnecessarily and potentially waste valuable aeroplanes. Pilots of the RFC whose aircraft were damaged had to face the fact that they would plunge to their deaths. The pilots of aircraft which caught fire were often seen to jump from their machines despite the lack of parachute. The German Air Service did allow their aviators to wear parachutes if they wanted to.
