A weekend in Adelaide

Hello Peter, thanks for visiting my "On the Road" album and for you kind comments. There is the town of Dorrigo which might have been rather small when you passed through 20 years ago! It is still a small town but has more than a store and cafe now. The small "town" of Ebor is nearby too and that is a lovely little place - not a lot there though. We stayed on a sheep property at Ebor many, many years ago and had a great time. I love this album of your visit to Adelaide (our Capital city)...thanks for taking me through Hahndorf again. I love this little village and it was great to see it through your eyes. You have some wonderful photos i this album. Best wishes to you and Betty, Pam

Hi Peter, thanks for taking me along. It was a great trip. I like going on a trip with you cause you show us everything you see.Sometimes it's those little things people think no one wants to see that are the most interesting. Love it. Hugs to both of you...Claudette

Peter, thank you for all your encouraging comments about my photography. It is so nice to hear from you. Linda (Oregon)

Hi Peter!! Thank you so much for all your nice messages!! Thank you not only for the compliments, but also for the thought and humor you have put into your messages. I have truly enjoyed them, as I'm sure future viewers will! Don't worry, it will take me a while before I post the Carphian albums. I'm afraid it will also take me a while to locate that hat you liked so much. As for the adorable gypsy child - I'm sure you can find many natural models like him even in Westerdn Australia. Thank you my friend also for your warm and encouraging words during the recent hard times. Warm regards for you and Betty. I will join your weekend in Adelaide when I have more time. Hugs!! Orly

Hi Peter, yesterday I needed some genie for myself. They sent me home from work because I wasn't well. The surprising part is, they succeeded to do that. Peter, my Master, thank you for your many messages in my messageboards. You mad me laugh with your comments, and as always: one joke was to high for me! Please explain what it is about your comment to #8. Just now I see that there is a lot about the series of the comments to that picture . . .but my brain is still failing me! :-) - I loved your comments as always. You seemed to be in such a good mood - as always. . . . okay - most of the time! :-) Yes, it is the Mediterranean in those pictures and: Yes, it still wasn't the new camera. I am just too slow! No, :-) I didn't stop the birds singing :-) but keep asking my dear! And, Peter, I never stop singing when I look at a sky like that! I know where your grandson got that chatterbox from! :-) Thanks for cheering me up, my Master. Peter, stay as you are! Lots of love and a great hug for you both - Galit

Hi Peter, this is another one of your great albums, makes me feel like its time for Margaret and I to have a holiday. Not much chance this year though we have been to busy house hunting, now as of tomorrow it moving time. If it were not for my camera and also having become a warden at one of the new wild life reserves I would have become nuts the way the solicitors have messed us about. Any way catch up with you again once we have every thing back in place. Paul

said sawyer171 2006.08.13 at 05:49:30 PDT

Wow!!!what a fantastic album..again and again you just amaze me Peter. I just returned from a trip and have 145 pieces of mail...imagine that. I will be back soon for individual comments dear friend. Thank you for this wonderful tour. Love and hugs for Betty and you/kathy

Hello Peter, CONGRATULATIONS to your grandson! For sure there is a bright future ahead. People who know to talk are doing well in life! He must have it from you, Master! You are very good in talking too! :-) I am very sure you enjoyed to be there with him to enjoy the whole competition. Some of those days to remember!! I just had some of those MOMENTS to remember . . . . My son, after finishing his long studies and after beginning to work (at last!!) had a vacation in Eilat with his girl friend. When they came back he told he that he has to talk to me and ask me to sit down . . . . . . . . .my head was spinning! People think about lots of things in those moments. And then he told me something about that I had worked hard blah blah blah, for his studies blah blah blah and here is a little gift. . . .Maybe I should tell you about the gift next time??? :-) It is a Canon S3 IS. I still can't believe that. And now I am back to school with that manual!! I hate manuals in Hebrew! I am cleaning up my PC from rest photos and created some new albums with them . . . if you are interested . . . lots of greetings from your genie - Galit

said 854847 2006.08.10 at 07:42:37 PDT

Hi Peter, Thank you for your kind reply to my comments and album entry, I too have placed you in my favourites so I can browse YOUR albums at leisure. I will warn you in advance though .... SOMETIMES my wacky sense of humour (that has got me into trouble from time to time with friends and family) gets the better of me and I just have to put a comment on a photo that I see some humour in. Sometimes it is in response to someone else's comment ..... But I will assure you now .... ABSOLUTELY NO OFFENCE IS MEANT ... With that said, I look forward to a continuing corrospondence with you. Warm regards Trish.

said leckie45 2006.08.09 at 20:01:02 PDT

This doesn't beat a weekend in Adelaide by a long shot, but I do want to thank you for your support and kind words on my "Worldly Windows" and also, I've enjoyed your toodle around as you went on your little holiday. Great shots as always, Peter! Cheers, Leslie

said bisquitzoe 2006.08.09 at 15:17:42 PDT

Hello Peter, I have been meaning to stop by and view your albums for some time and it looks like I'll be doing that for some time to come. I have seen your posts in Rod's albums. Also in other WS artist albums, and became curious to see who this georgieboy98 is, so now I know .... another fine WS Artist!! I really enjoyed your shots of Hahndorf with it's unique German influence, and the typical Aussie Farm scenes. Your shots of the storm brewing over Glenelg just blew me away!! I'll just have to bite the bullet and say to the heck with the petrol prices and drive over to revisit Adelaide & Glenelg. Also, to see Hahndorf for myself one day. Thank you for sharing your Adelaide trip with all of us out here in WS land, Kind regards, Trish. Melbourne, Victoria.

said leckie45 2006.08.08 at 23:12:09 PDT

Hi Peter, I have really enjoyed looking at this album. It looks like you had a lovely time. That storm looked wild. Another collection of wonderful pictures. I hope you are well. Not heard from you for a while so I hope all is ok. Take care there Peter and have a good week. Chesca xx

said chesca44 2006.08.06 at 14:19:19 PDT

I really enjoyed your album a lot. Greetings Tim GREENLAND : -)

said inuit1963 2006.08.06 at 06:31:35 PDT

Peter, what can I say.. you should have said you were popping over I could have put the kettle on :-) I do believe you were here for the only rain we have had ALL winter! 2006 is the second driest winter we have ever had! I enjoyed your trip around town and the hills you visited some of my favourite spots. You should call this a winter weekend or our overseas WB friends will think the worst of sunny Oz. hugs.. poppy

Thaks for this new tour in your country Peter! Adelaide is a beautiful town and its sourronding too, but it seem that I'm focused moren on beaches.... Here is summer and I'm very tired.... really I need a vacation :-). Again THANKS!! CIAO from the other side of the world.... Ruggero PS: don't forgot to give me the phone-number of the girl :-

Peider, mate, I whole hearted big fat thank you for your inspiring message in my "Rocky Mountain Magic" Album. The pat on the back coming from YOU makes me feel very proud and your many wonderful comments really made me feel good, I am still grinnin from one ear to the other,:D!!!I devoted a lot of time and love to try to make this a very good album. It was such an awesome trip, I enjoyed making the album, but to get people's reaction has been the very icing on this beautiful cake! Thanks so very,very much. And the biggest and hugest german cowgirl hugs yet!Have a wonderful blue skied and sunny day. Marita

said worldtripper3 2006.08.03 at 08:33:53 PDT

Hi Peter, What a weekend! You packed a lot in. Adelaide looks lovely. Hahndorf looks really interesting and very German. There certainly is a lot to see there. I hope you enjoyed your evening out. I bet it was a very special occasion. It's a shame the weather was a bit "English". We have had glorious weather here for weeks! I like the idea of the chromometer tower. It must have been very useful in its time. I have answered some of your questions in my last 3 albums. We are off on a 12.5 mile walk this weekend. We use 2 cars and park one at the end of the walk then drive the other to the start. I'll have another album ready next week. Love Pam x

said viking153 2006.08.02 at 06:40:44 PDT

Hi Peter, well you certainly packed a lot into your week end in Adelaide. Looks like you and Betty had a great, and you sure got some nice shots. Many thanks Peter for your good wishes on my retirement. Less than a week in, and I'm a lot busier than I ever expected, and certainly not so soon. I don't see me getting to Perth in quite a while, but when I do, I'll be looking you up for sure. Until then, take care and best wishes, Keith.

said magikeith 2006.08.02 at 01:07:21 PDT

WOW!! And a big thanks for inviting me to view this wonderful album. I don't know, but I have no doubt that each of your albums just get better and better. I thought there were soo many outstanding photos in this beautiful album, and what a beautiful journey. Tks heaps for sharing this special weekend in Adelaide, and you sure covered some ground and gave us a peek and feel of the olden days and many special moments. A GREAT trip and wonderful photos my friend. Do take care and tks for kind words left for me. My time is limited, but my joy is immense and your album was my wonderful journey today. Take care and tks again for sharing and have a really great day..Kindest regards, and big hugs to you and Betty....Em

Hi Peter, I'm sure you enjoyed spending the weekend in Adelaide. I enjoyed spending my time visiting your album... I really like your pictures of the harbour and the signs. Thanks for sharing your pictures with all of us. Take care, Yair.

said ykarelic4 2006.08.01 at 03:01:47 PDT

Hi Peter,looks like you had a very full & enjoyable weekend. What a shame that you had such British looking weather! Lots of clouds here today & heavy rain last night,hope the heatwave isn't over yet! Hahndorf looks more like a theme park or film set than a real town.Your little camera seems to have coped well,i like the storm photos & the cloudscapes from the plane.Thanks for all the GB entries in my Northumberland holiday albums...much appreciated. To answer a few of your questions...No,the stones don't hurt Bailey's feet when we are fellwalking.The dogs were terrified of the bagpipes,Bailey was just trying to get away although he looks as if he's trying to eat Harry from the angle of the shot!LOL.He was with me when we saw the rabbit,he doesn't chase them as our daughter has 2 house-rabbits so he knows not to.It's busy here at the moment as our daughter gets married next week,so hoping for a return to sunshine,just not quite so hot as it's been. We don't want to roast in our best bibs & tuckers!LOL...Hugs, Angela.

said osprey137 2006.08.01 at 01:43:36 PDT

Hi Pete! You have some nice shots of Adelaide and other places. I like the little German town, who's name I can't remember. The photos of the beach with the storm approaching are great. Also liked the pics from the plane on your way home. Some of thm looked like photos from the space schuttle. Thanks for the invite mate. Catch you later. Cheers Al

said acehigh999 2006.07.31 at 20:58:45 PDT

Thanks Peter if I don't get to Australia, you have made it possible to get the next best thing. Your pictures are great and the storys you tell are even better, so that one can almost feel as if one had been there. Ross from California

said rdwltr 2006.07.31 at 16:27:40 PDT

Very nice to show us Adelaide, Peter. Glad to see it was a nice weekend with the family. Groeten, Mieke

said miekesphotos2 2006.07.31 at 14:06:19 PDT

Hello Peter my Master, what happened to your new camera? Or was it too heavy to take it with you? :-) Those compact cameras like this one often do wonders. And I still believe, that the person behind the camera has a lot to do with the outcome of a picture! You ARE a great photographer!!! Have a wonderful sunny day - for a change! - your Genie

said 854847 2006.07.31 at 12:15:52 PDT

Very nice album, Peter. Thanks for sharing! Best wishes, Kris :)

said KrisApplegate 2006.07.31 at 11:37:21 PDT

Thanks for the invitation to follow you through your trip to Adelaide. Looks like there is heaps to see and do whatever the weather. Hope you have had rain in your hometown too by now. I will be going back for another look...especially at that Lolly Shop! Was that a huge lollipop I saw ? LoL ! You are both looking great ! (((((HUGS)))) Ella in NZ

said ggranny104 2006.07.31 at 11:27:18 PDT

G'day, Peter! My first question was: how did your grandson do in the competition? Seems like you got a wonderful family weekend out of it regardless. What a nice surprise to see Hahndorf. Mike was stationed at the dorf(village) of Hahn in Germany close by my hometown when we met, so for me the walk thru that little village was a special treat. Adelaide looks like a pleasant place, with an awesome seaside location. And although you had some rainy weather you got some awesome shots there! Have a fantastic week. Marita

said worldtripper3 2006.07.31 at 09:37:12 PDT

Hello Peter,a lovely album from your weekend trip to Adelaide,you had mixed weather conditions but the images all told their part of your visit well.The images of the old town with the quaint little shops were very interesting and you got some beautiful moody seascapes when the light improved with that stormy sky as a backdrop.I do hope you both enjoyed your time with your Grandson and with your support everything went well for him,I know you both must have been so proud of him.A pleasure to view my friend,Regards,Rod.

said chrisrod100 2006.07.31 at 09:24:03 PDT

Wonderful collection of your Adelaide excursion, Peter! Looks like you had some inclement weather, but took full advantge of the dynamic beauty of the changing atmospheres!! Both Connie and I would have enjoyed those quaint shops and stores, many thanks for sharing your lovely trip with us! You and Betty take care my friend! Ted

I thoroughly enjoyed your trip to Adelaide. I especially like the country/farmland you drove through. Too bad it was so rainy for you, but I'm sure you enjoyed the trip anyway. Hugs, Char

Peter~ We thoroughly enjoyed tripping through Adelaide with your album. And you have such clear and vivid beautiful shots with the compact camera. just goes to show, it is not just the equipment, but the hands that use it!!!! MJ

Hi Peter, WOW! some great pics here mate! you have done well. If you get chance take a look at our new album Butterotterflies show, its been along time since me and Babs added any pics to our own site, we have spent most of our spare time looking after the webshots user group so its great to have at last put a album together. All the very best Keith & Babs

Very nice pictures. It looks like you have had a wonderful trip. There are lots of fun things to see. (My last comment was supposed to be added to the picture of you dressed to go out...but somehow, I think it ended up here.) Anyway, you got some beautiful photos, but thin...you always do! -hugs

Hi Peter, you've gone and returned and I'm still at our daughter's. I am sorry there were no photos of your grandson or news of his experience. We'll catch up after I get back. ... You didn't have the best weather while gone, but you packed a lot into your weekend and I enjoyed the 'tour'. The length of your flight describes the distance between Perth and Adelaide quite well. Thanks for letting us go along. ... Judy/FL
