Just came down from yet a fishing trip. This time we just stayed one night, fished most of the time. One hour sleep. This time we went to a nice little water in the mountains near Narvik. This area is a ww2 battleground, and i think the germans had their first devestating loss of the ww2 here.
Was a lot of tunder and lightning on the way up, impossible to capture on a cameraphone. Nasty weather, we almost decided to turn around and go home.
The campsite of the night. We took a chance and didn't pack a tent (in case the cabin was occupied). Not that many pepole that want to go up mountain fishing in nasty weather. Noone here. And the weather got rarther nice after some hours. Win-Win.
The water in the bottom of the valley still got some well preserved junker 52's in it. I think there was 11 german planes that went trough the ice down there during ww2. Dont make a airstrip on ice, it will melt one day
Found the freezer for the fish
The darkest time of night. Not really using the flashlight in summer. Narvik is on the base ot the mountainrange in the background.
The grass looks greener on this side... that's odd..... It should look greener on the other side
Something like this.
Fog is sneeking in, I'ts ruining the fishing. Fish wont bite in fog. Went to bed for a hour.
Fog is still there when i woke up. Screw this, i'm going home..
Keychain in the fog.

Is that the bay bridge tunnel?Speaking of fishing: Next stop;

Each time I go over that bridge, I think about what I have in the car that can be used as a flotation device.
Here's a picture of Raritan Bay, with my attempt at a lighted lure.

Poppy, I still can't see some of your pictures - is this just me?
I had a recent trip to Aldbourne, a real gem of an English country village in rural Wiltshire.
My interest was its use as a location for a Doctor Who series back in 1972, "The Daemons", as a child, my favourite show!
The Village did not disappoint, I recommend a visit here for the Village Green, the Church and the pub (The Blue Boar in real life, The Cloven Hoof in Doctor Who - they even kept the sign)

In close up.
And up the lane, a part of the village with a troubling name!
Not far from the pub, though. (It always pays to be close to the pub in an English Country Village!)

Great pics!
Made me think to try to get one of the "Bada Bing" The strippers club from The HBO special "The Sopranos"
LOL... my son's ready to go :devil:
Nyctophiliac,
I found that my picture didn't show in firefox either, but it shows in chrome. Getting pics up with google is a pia.
I re-did them, now they show in firefox. Are they showing for you?

Yes. Seeing them now and great pics, Poppy. Is that a 3d Maglite lighted lure by any chance???? Must be a strong monofilament...
I'm off to Harlech, Llangollen and Shrewsbury for the week so expect some new pics! Sea, hills...and Shrewsbury I guess!
Nyctophiliac,
lol... no just a cheap little AAA
I'm looking forward to your next set of pictures.
In the mean time.
My little 2AA Rayovac Indestructible got a head start on the weekend and went out drinking with the boys yesterday.
When he drinks, he has to show off his "beer muscles"

Poppy, that was a bridge crossing the Rappahonnok not far from the bay as the seagull flies.
Turned out my new thyroid medicine was giving me mega heat sensitivity issues so I didn't go anywhere in the daytime for more than a few minutes.
My wife said "welcome to menopause" lol
Oh that's funny!
I hope you got it under control. :thumbsup:

+1 on feeling better. Really cool picture.
Thanks fellas.
I'm all better now. My thyroid was on vacation so doc gave me a hormone to kick start it. For the first couple weeks it was an adventure in hot vs cold minute to minute.
