cute, but probably true

I have a friend who lives just outside Chernobyl in Ukraine.
He watched that drama and says he counted 9 historical inaccuracies on one hand!

That is hilarious Lenn - I about spilled my coffee 

Wow Lenn, just wow!

Ozzie, I love this one!! I don't know why but for some reason love pictures of paths through the woods.

I was taken by the same picture. I just want to take a walk down that path

There's a lot of talent by the men on this board with a camera in their hands. That sunrise and fishing boat picture could be entered in a contest and would probably take the trophy. It's that nice!

I should have added to the instructions: Check the size of the picture you want to post. You should "resize" the picture you wish to post to a size that fits on the screen on BBH otherwise one will have to use the slide bar to see the whole picture.

In my "Picture Folders" on my PC, I have a sub-directory called "resized pictures" that I use for posting on a thread. That way, I still have the original in it's huge size, but also a smaller version that is easy to see on one page of a thread.

Ok, stupid question.  I don't have a site to upload my pictures to, so how do I display them?

Lenn explained it, but I'll try to explain it a little differently. Like Lenn, I prefer to use "Postimages.org". There are other free file sharing sites, but in my experience, Postimages.org is the easiest.

Go to https://postimages.org/

Step 1: click "Choose Images" (this will take you to your personal files on your PC)
Step 2: locate the picture you want to show and click "enter"
Step 3: There will be a row of options to click, pick "Hotlink for Forums" (7th option down) and click the little blue icon to the right of the row
Step 4: on the BBH thread you want to post the picture, just click "paste"

note: sometimes the postimages website adds a little advertisement to the end of the picture (about 1 out of 10 times). So before sending your response, check out the link that is pasted. So if the link to the picture has additional information after the first [img][/url] in the link, such as First Finance Insurance[/url], just delete that part. So always "preview" before posting.

Really easy once you get used to it.

Glad you started this thread Lenn. Those are truly incredible pictures that you've shared - stunning and professional. I'm glad you posted them as I was hoping to see some of the talent from this board and you in particular. You definitely have the eye for it. I'd have to dig through a thousand pictures of mine to find one or two worth posting. I already posted one worth posting - the sky on fire sunset. If I find another, I'll post it. Now I'm getting the hankering to dig out my expensive camera and get to work on it!

I watched "The Old Guard" last night. It was just released on Netflix (yesterday I think). I liked it and so did my girlfriend. I was always a fan of Charlize Theron anyway, especially in the movie comedy "Trial and Error" as well as one of my favorites, "The Italian Job"...but she was just so dang hot in Trial and Error.

Anyway, the gist of the move is that she and three guys are "immortals" and have been alive for centuries if not thousands of years fighting evils throughout the world. They get shot in the face or blown up and their body just rejuvenates as if nothing happened so they spend their lives as a mini-army trying to right the wrongs going on in the world. It ended in such a way that I think there will be a sequel.

I'd give it 3 1/2 stars, maybe 4. Not a bad way to spend the evening. And believe me, I've wasted many hours watching movies that I wished I had that time back, lol
