Have a look at Rio.

@kindredspirit

Brilliant link, thanks

I know Rio well and that panorama puts it into perspective.

Here's a link to one of my travelogues (Shineys Travels) that is about Rio

There's a link at the start of the thread to other 'Travels' (got dozens more to do but don't find the time! ).

 

Thanks

I've got about another 40 countries on digital photos. I don't think I'll get around to my other photos which are on print or slide.

I used to use a half frame slide camera over 50 years ago and I've still got them somewhere in the cupboard. In 1963 we were chugging through the South Atlantic at about 17 knots when we were overhauled and passed by a sailing ship!! It looked fantastic as it came up over the horizon behind us. Very reminiscent of the films about pirates. She was a four-masted ship belonging to Argentina and was headed for the tall ships race. She was running before a very strong wind and we saw the masts and sails come up over the horizon and, eventually, pass us and disappear over the horizon in front of us.

If the slides are still in good condition I'd have to find some way of transferring them to digital if I wanted to put them up here. We were about two days out from St Helena at the time.

 

That's generous of you . I've just done a quick check on Amazon and I can buy one for £40. If you posted it to me you may have to pay quite a bit so it may be better to buy one (unless your funeral is close to Shineyland).

EDIT: Having looked at some of them it appears that some are quite small. So it may be fairly cheap to post, depending on what you have. I'd be happy to send you a cheque if you PM me an address.

 

What's Sky TV? We only have wind up TV out here in the sticks.
