      First picture could be a number of places.

        The photos like those I propose to post in the future if there are no objections, come from a lovely short Power Point Presentation such as friends send me contributions every day for my site. This one does not indentify the locations, but each includes nice words of wisdom, accompanied by ‘ I’m alive sung ‘ by Celine Dion

          It appears to be from here http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Oxphm_5Ri8A/UYT3SWAW31I/AAAAAAAANwE/n6MFsCOf8_s/s1600/Hd nature Wallpapers For Mac 5.jpg and is on this site http://www.hdphotogallary.com/2013/05/hd-nature-wallpapers-for-mac.html plus a lot of other 'wallpaper' sites.

          Yes, and that very same pic is also on wallpaper images websites http://pictures.4ever.eu/nature/landscapes/iguazu-falls-124870

            Oh good a competition! If we guess the location correctly does the music stop?

              Lovely pictures Sigord. We do have a 'Members Gallery' here on GC where you can display your personal photographs. :)

                Are these actually recently taken 'personal photagraphs' (as there's hundreds of identical images already all over the internet)?

                Clicky on this link for 100's of identical pics of those falls

                @Sheal

                Do we really need a whole load more pics re-posted here when there's already hundreds of exactly the same image posted posted all over the internet?

                  @Scrungee I don't like your attitude. Sigord has already been 'pushed' out of 'Gardening Discussion', is it wrong for him to display the occasional pictures that he likes, whether they are from the internet or not, others do it! It doesn't matter how many times they are displayed on the web, most of us wouldn't see them unless somebody like Sigord posted them.

                  I have suggested above that they would probably be better displayed in 'Members Gallery' rather than here in 'Photography Discussion'.

                    Just put up a link to your site, then we can view or not as we please, and not pay for our server and bandwidth to host them

                      I appreciate this is one of the few forums I belong you do not like posting to links containing such as PPS presentations and MHT files. Perhaps because some are using cheap or free antivirus incapable of detecting some virus, so it issues generals warnings of such, except EVERYTHING online is probably capable of hosting a virus.

                      But if some could post here what sort of photos you will like me to watch for, I will try to post such. Presumably flowers and some scenery. My profile here shows the address of my AVG well protected my site and the daily contributions.

                        OK folks it is much simpler for me to suggest you visit my daily pages of perfectly safe contributions from friends at http://www.sigord.co.uk/News.htm along with the week’s repeats. Today includes some lovely scenery among CoolPicture36, though you will have a job identifying any, as this one comes fr0m my some 6 year old collections on a US site. Perhaps I will just post here on days when more lovely scenery or flowers are included.
                        If you are using a free or cheap antivirus and it shows dubious warnings, note the number of visitors since 2006, none of which have ever complained of real problems. Click on HELP if you cannot display any such as Power Point Presentations, and how to download a free viewer from Microsoft. Those nervous of downloading anything, just watch the data light on your router as soon as you turn on your PC, and especially when you visit ANY site like this or accept any emails. It is showing you are downloading ALL the time. Most of which may only be kept on your PC for a short while.
                        I am afraid a rarely have anything new to show from my garden. Being 80 with a few disabilities, so I have a kind young gardener to do most of my heavy work below.

                          It's very nice Sigord and a very good size. It's nice to know that you get some help with it.....it looks well looked after. :)

                            Yep and he will not let me pay him more than £10 per hour. He even took the cuttings away the last two times with no car because the council could not make up it mind when to empty to Garden bin I pay for.

                            Same here with regard to the garden waste bin. I got fed up with the local council not emptying it so put in a complaint about it.
