West coast of Norway and east of Iceland is prime real estate for subs. If a shooting war had ever broken out between the US and USSR during the cold war, that whole stretch of water between Iceland and west coast of Norway would have been the site of most likely the largest naval battle in history. That is/was a choke point for Soviet subs coming out of the Soviet northern fleet southward to intercept NATO shipping lanes coming from America to Europe. I would have LOVED to live there and be able to see all those subs on patrol. Thanks again for the pics, Fascinating.

these...I think...it didn't say...are taken from U.S. 41 between Marquette and L'Anse...looks familiar anyway. I've been tempted to stop w/my float tube and fly rod...but then you're right in the public eye and that defeats the purpose.

Although this time of year (winter) everything is white...we are treated to a lot of color before the snow falls. This is on the western edge, say to the left of the arrowhead in the logo at the bottom right of the photo...Porcupine Mountains, Lake of the Clouds

Meh... not something people wanna see... Sand that looks like sugar and is soft as baby powder. Not something folks like.

This is Vinoy Park and downtown St. Petersburg. They have a lot of boring concerts and festivals and so on there. You just sit around enjoying amazing weather most of the year and watch dolphins jump and play. BOOOORING!!

Damn, Walt if I came upon those scenes, I think I'd just grab my fishing gear and walk off into those woods. Those are awesome pics.
