A Day in the Life of the World Album, 3/29/08

[acgoldis]

Hi!

I'm still in Ecuador but I just got Internet access. There's been a request to have me start a thread where people can post their pictures. Hopefully we can make it sticky

Ironically, after all that I didn't get that many good cultural pictures on the 29th. The noon shot (6 AM local) had people waiting for a flight at the San Cristobal airport in the Galapagos (VERY tiny). There a few shots of tourists in restaurants the local night of the 28th. The rest were all typical touristy type things. I'll see which ones I want to upload.

I suppose I could include the dashboard of the 5-seater plane I took to Isabela.

I don't have a USB cable here.

Can we make this a sticky thread?

Also -- we should try to set up another date for an album, this time with more lead time so we can get people all over the world involved (most of the people I saw seemed to be American or at least in the US time zones). I have this crazy idea of June 20th for the summer solstice or something like that, but it depends which day of the week that is.

Anty...^^^ are you reposting or is the other thread to be intergrated here?

 

[TamiyaGuy]

Ah, just found this. Many thanks to Antarctican for posting this link in the original thread! Anyway, here are my photos... again. I've added a couple more that I think you might like.




And the 12:00 photo (again). Yum yum.

Enjoy! It would also seem that my virus scanner is eating my computer. 2 restarts later and I've finally managed to get some f***** photos uploaded. :x

And, of course, a ton of thanks to Acgoldis for having the idea! Great fun.
I'll shut up now.

I went with the Noon shot, which was 8am here in Land O' Lakes, FL.

 

[Antarctican]

I parked near the University of Toronto campus and as I walked through it, I passed at least 4 weddings. So "A Day in the Life" of many people included their wedding....or being the photographer at the wedding.

Actually, Prisoner, Condemned and Cell_Block were taken about six hours before the start of the official "day." Quarry was correctly taken during the day and also fits BB's category of "Industry."

Okay, this is a re-post from the original thread.....ONLY because I was instructed to. And you know who you are!!!

I really would like to know what the heck they were discussing.


And the Noon(ish) shot was:

Alright, this is a bogus bonus shot. It's horibble, but I was on my way into town and this big friggin' tractor trailer wanted to cut me off.......

70mph down the bypass, rolling a ......cigarette and, well it was closer than I appreciated. (Seriously, it was a cigarette :lmao

 

[Big Bully]

Its about time you do what you are told Kundalini! LOL

 

[kundalini]

Yes, but I like a damn good whacking first. :lmao:

 

[Socrates]

Yes, but I like a damn good whacking first. :lmao:

There was a masochist screaming "Beat me, Beat me!" and a sadist responding "No."
