Mini Pics 2006 competition

[monkimagic]

This has been mentioned before on another thread, Here is a chance to show off your photography skills, time to get out in the cold and wash that muck of the motaw and let us see your piccies.

There is lots of free image hosting sites, but if you are like me and cant be bothered with signing up to something else then try

http://www.tinypic.com/

Then maybe the best could get a wee slot in the gallery, what do the moderators think ?:)

This is a reflection of a winter sunset on the roof of our Mini

Ta very much! :D:approve::approve:

Think I took about 150 or so! The car ones are in camperdown Park in Dundee. :D:D

And the others are in the grounds of -and around- the remains of Balumbie House Hotel and Castle, just round the corner from my house. :D

[feefabelle]

Nope, the pillars are attached to the big house in Camperdown, up near the Golf course (how tempting was it to have a wee drive on the pristine golf course? ;);):D), and up from the Wildlife park a bit. Got a few more like that, with the car peeking round various pillars :D:D:D:D

[feefabelle]

:D
Nope, they've not really started on it yet. It's all Heras fenced off (properly this time ;)) and so is the castle. Didn't realise how close the houses were getting! :blackeye::eek:
Are they rebuilding the hotel?
Someone at my work's friend and his family used to own it. He claims himself to seeing at least one ghost in the place when he was little:D;)

[Burple]

Umm.. this might have to wait till I get a chance at home..
tHey've decided to go ahead (at short notice) with moving the entire building to the nice shiny new network, and that means I can't get online with my work PC till at least tomorrow. hmph :mad:

Currently checking my emails in on of our empty Lecture Theatres! ;):D

I only remember things getting a little iffy in the snow in one of may classics, 6x10s and not much tread didn't help ;)

Those 6x13s should be fun! :cool::D

I would like (with everyones permission ) to discuss the idea of using these photos to make up a calender that we and those close to us could buy, give as pressies....

This would be to help raise funds for http://www.aberlour.org.uk

What to people think ?

Monki

[Craig]

[minimadtez]

Credit must be given to Fontal for this photo.....I saw this photo and agreed to buy the car, without ever having seen it! Bumble looks alot different now, but this photo is still one of my favourites.
