Copied from previous thread.

Was a brilliant day with the weather. I thought I would take my camera to a local market attraction.

It's Maple Syrup time of year here in South West Ontario.

This guy was busy most of the day, was hard to get near for a photo request.

After making my way through the market, I thought I would head to the source for all the Maple Syrup. Hard to believe there is still snow on the ground here.

Thanks for the input from all those who got this thread organized. Great idea. I can't wait for other submissions.

I'm back, and here are a few of my pictures from the 29th. These were all taken with a 7.1Mpix Olympus digital camera with image stabilization (when possible).

Galapagos time is UTC minus 6 hours.

00:43Z -- tourists having dinner at a bar on San Cristobal Island

00:51Z -- sleeping sea lions

12:00Z -- tour group waiting to get on San Cristobal/Isabela flight

13:11Z -- cockpit of airplane (where are the fuzzy dice and the CD player)?

14:20Z -- still life from breakfast table

More photos to come (and now I'll try to make them full size -- these were thumbnails as it turned out)

Wow did no one else take pictures?

I wasnt able to get out of the house during those 24 hours. And being at home I wasnt really inspired to shoot anything. I''ll have to wait until we are able to do this again

Awesome pictures though guys... its really interesting to look at these and realize these events were all taking place in the same time frame. Was a very cool idea.

I agree.. I just hope next time I can actually leave the house. lol

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.

I hope that this idea didn't die a natural death. I had posted a link rather than the actual photos. Was that OK?

As a matter of habit, perhaps laziness, I tend to bypass links. It's too easy just to post the photo in the thread. But that's just me.

Thanks. I appreciate your perspective. Next time I'll post them in line.
