Photos of private flying
To add some colour to the posts, perhaps we need some photos. Photos of your flying/scenery, and a few of your pride and joy (the plane) are intended. To respect the rights of others, they should be amateur photos you have taken, or are taken of you. (we'd like to respect copyright privileges others may hold on their photos). Please assure that the photo size is 800 by 800 or smaller so it displays nicely.
Feel free to say a bit about the photo... I'll start, with my theme for this post being Canadian "bush" scenery. http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/...ps4795414d.jpg The calm just before sunrise camping on a small central Ontario lake http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/...psf1bba323.jpg Typical rock formations in Georgian Bay of the great lakes, close to my home. Beautiful from above, treacherous if you're on the water! http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/...ps4b70b4f0.jpg Divers on one of hundreds of ship wrecks. http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/...psaec66530.jpg The beginning of the Rocky Mountains near Calgary, Alberta. http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/...psd53d8ad3.jpg Hard into the Rocky Mountains, near Revelstoke, British Columbia. I was at 11,500' when I took this photo. http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/...psfab1351b.jpg Vancouver, B.C. looking toward the south, as I'm headed west to Vancouver Island. http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/...psa674ec58.jpg Following the Fraser River south, in south central British Columbia http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/...ps8cebddbd.jpg Rock formations in the Fraser Canyon, B.C. http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/...ps23c94f68.jpg Fuel stop in central British Columbia, where the road side service station sells gasoline, diesel and Jet fuel! and a great lunch too! Perfect! http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/...ps07e99c13.jpg A gravel bar fuel stop in the Yukon Territory. http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/...psab0048c2.jpg Me looking for a VFR path through the fog in northern B.C. Few alternates up there! http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/...pse2f1be89.jpg Mountains on the Yukon B.C. border. http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/...ps9eb02581.jpg The Yukon. http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/...ps7f388617.jpg The "Ice Road" near Inuvik, North West Territories. |
And... part two, as all the photos I selected this time 'round were not accepted into one post (I learned something!)...
http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/...ps337e8d60.jpg A glassy B.C, Mountain lake at 3500' elevation, one way in - NO missed approach, the other way out! http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/...ps4b8530d7.jpg That same lake from above the next day - I could not believe I'd landed in there! http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/...ps7d6367b6.jpg A B.C. mountain top, overlooking Vancouver http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/...psf0eadbd6.jpg On the other side of the country, Halifax, Nova Scotia. http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/...pscafbad94.jpg A valley in northern Quebec http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/...pse2ce9b64.jpg Northern Labrador lake http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/...psb541622f.jpg The ghost town of Hebron, on the Labrador coast http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/...psc827b5ea.jpg Mountains of the Labrador coast, 2500' high. http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/...ps44974dd5.jpg There's a lot more ice burg under the water than above! http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/...ps5348086a.jpg Very imposing coastal island http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/...psf1552e7b.jpg Dan going by the ice burg http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/...ps7d800ab6.jpg The coast at Ungava Bay, northern Quebec http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/...ps3aa121af.jpg Blueberry picking in Northern Ontario http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/...ps6fb6aa6f.jpg Tied up at the rocks of Georgian Bay http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/...ps44fb325a.jpg Landing at home in the autumn colours (runway just at the right side) yesterday. |
Absolutely gorgeous, thank you :D

as a fellow Canadian and an aspiring PPL, thank you for sharing :)

Excellent pics. Explain how to submit them.

I'm certainly no IT expert, but I do the following to get my photos posted here: I use the "Batch Processing" function of Adobe Photoshop Elements to resize a group of photos to 800 by 800 pixels maximum. Make sure that you constrain the ratio, so it does not stretch or compress one axis of the photo. I upload the resized photos to my Photobucket account, from which their unique "address" can by copy and pasted into the dialog box you get when you select the insert image icon in the tools above. Sometimes it can fiddly, so check what you've uploaded to see it is what you intended. Note that photos exceeding 800 pixels in any dimension will cause the PPRuNe pages to be buggered up. Photobucket can also be used to resize, but I have found this challenging, with my modest website skills....
Let's have some photos of where other PPRuNe members fly... I'll put up some more later.... |
Personally I like to look at photographs more than I do videos. Excellent start there, if there's enough interest is there any chance of making this a sticky?

Oh, excellent photos Tupperware! Here are some from today's flying. I was not flying the CHRISTEN EAGLE, not my sort of flying but I do like to watch! https://www.flickr.com/photos/tupper...7647997271199/ |

Not long now..

A few more, from various places....

I landed, and taxied up for a chat with the crew, who had recovered some of the plane by that point. http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/...pseafc75e3.jpg |
These are all private flying
A few pictures of me having fun. The cub features a lot, because that's what I fly the most. But you can also see the 1930s Rhonsperber glider, which I was privileged to fly at Lasham, and some of the Grunau babies I aerowed from a hill site in Poland (using the cub, which has been to many countries, rather slowly, though faster than the balloon)
It has even been to Le Bourget, for free, on International women's day, together with a Stampe, the only two taildraggers present that day. I do fly modern gliders and aircraft as well! Slideshow |
The Early Bird....
.......catch's the sunrise!
https://www.flickr.com/photos/tupper...7648778245230/ Sometimes it's worth getting to the airfield early!!! |
Nothing as beautiful as some of the earlier posts by you guys, but a nice one of Portsmouth, UK I feel :)

wow,
Hong Kong photo's are amazing, takes me back to when i use to live there in the 90's, such an enchanting, mystical and wonderful place!! |
|
Lots of really nice photos
A lot of them look like South East Alaska were I live. I'll have to post pictures of my home airport and surroundings. Have a good one. |

A trip to Lundy
A nice calm day, what could be better than heading for Lundy Island?
http://www.ianj49.co.uk/zumo/lundy03.jpg The white dots on the runway are sheep so a few low passes to encourage them to move http://www.ianj49.co.uk/zumo/lundy04.jpg Round again to land this time http://www.ianj49.co.uk/zumo/lundy05.jpg Safely down, though undoubtedly the worst surface I've ever landed on (no complaints I was comprehensively warned!) http://www.ianj49.co.uk/zumo/lundy10.jpg After a good lunch in the Marisco Tavern - away again doing a circuit of the island - a view back down the runway here http://www.ianj49.co.uk/zumo/lundy14.jpg And away back to the mainland http://www.ianj49.co.uk/zumo/lundy18.jpg |

Merry Christmas....

Lundy Island looks amazing,
Did you see James May toy program where he tried to glide a small model glider from the mainland uk to lundy island |
This is South Passage Bar, between Moreton Island and North Stradbroke Island just off the coast of Brisbane, Australia. I took an extended lesson the other day, and the instructor and I flew down to the Gold Coast and back hugging the Islands of the South East Queensland Coast.

I think its time I had a shave and a haircut! https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-z...0/DSC01556.JPG Bonus Tangalooma (Moreton Island) Shot. Normally this place is packed with recreational boats, but its been queit lately. https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-3...0/DSC01589.JPG You know, sometimes I have to pinch myself to remember how lucky I am to live in this part of the world. Days like this are ones I will take to the grave knowing that a very few people will experience this. I worked hard to be able to do this, but what a reward. I dont get to do it often, but when I do it takes about 6 months to wipe the smile from my face. I am so spoilt to live in such a great country, and I so often overlook this. I got a lot more pics that day. I also have pics of Fraser Island. When I get time I will pull some more out and post them up. |
Just decided to upload a few more piccies of the Islands of Brisbane. These islands are just under 20nm from my as the crow (or cessna 172) flies. I sailed to Moreton Island yesterday. How lucky am I?

Thanks Andy, that was just what I needed on a cool Canadian winter day!

Some great pictures particularly Lundy and Brisbane.
Here's one a friend sent me http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v8...swfupjyfk.jpeg |

Hey Andy, I've stayed on Moreton Island. You of course have only viewed it from above...:)
Barton flyer, great pics. We were just talking about Lundy today as a place we ought to go. How was the strip? It will be a 180hp 172 with a STOL kit if we go so interested in your views. |
thing - the strip is undoubtedly the worst surface I've ever landed on - there is a lot of info around on t'interweb so google away!
A few low passes were needed to clear the sheep - I suspect they may have become accustomed to being buzzed by light aircraft as I ended up very low before they shifted (of course that may have just been my super quiet Rotax engine!) Nice pub, great scenery and certainly I'm glad that I got it in my logbook |
Ta for that.

More Flying around Australia - Oz, Downunder
Some pictures from some of my trips around Australia
Enjoy Safe Flying JERR http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/...b8d7308d2b.jpg This was taken back in 2010. Lake Eyre was in flood. This does not happen very often. The Birdsville Track was closed by flooding of the Coopers Creek due to heavy rains in Queensland. There is a punt to transport cars, trucks etc across the "creek". My son now works at nearby William Creek as a charter pilot for Wrightsair. JERR |
Outback South Australia
William Creek, where my stepson now works. Population of 8, number of aeroplanes also 8!
If you visit Australia you should visit the Outback. Not much to navigate by, much easier these days with GPS. I remember doing flights through the Kimberly area in the 1980s (outback NW Australia) with a not very accurate WAC. http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/...77b6a37a49.jpg Not much green up here. William Creek is the smallest town in South Australia. |
