No, you are not the only one. I'm glad I don't live in such a bleak (in more ways than one) environment.

Thanks!

And yes he has. He divorced from my grandmother before I was born.

Lovely job. Thanks for taking me someplace I'm unlikely to ever be - and for capturing it all so beautifully. Well done!

Thank you very much for those words, sir!

Although I enjoy visiting larger cities and warmer countries, I always love to get back home

This is the fate of all farmed animals.

Looking at it IS indeed grim.

IMO these reindeer live a heck of a lot better and more free life than e.g. chicken. Go out there and see how they live, what they eat and do before we kill and eat them. Not to mention cattle or pigs.. Cheers! :-)

xjeeunitx · 26 October 2010, 08:33 AM

Awesome pictures bro!

Art 1 · 26 October 2010, 09:00 AM

Amazing is all I can say. So much different than where I live.

I spent a long weekend in Gothenburg way back in 1998. I thought it was a rather nice city.

Farming is farming, but I'm not really that crazy about ogling pictures of frightened animals.

Excellent reply. They do have the mountains all for themselves. This "act" only happens once a year!

I understand you, but farming is farming as you say. I can insure you that those animals get the best of care. The walk freely in a vast area almost all aorund the year.

Perhaps I should have thought about the possiblility of some people getting disturbed, but this is normal to me. We learned about this in school.

Wicked photos

Texcoonazz · 10 November 2010, 02:46 AM

Interesting Thread. Brings to mind a couple cultural differences I have recently encountered.

For Instance....

In Mexico it is VERY common to see photos of bloody bullet riddled bodies on the front page of the local newspaper. In the USA... Not so much. Not that we don't have the same scenes here on some of our streets... we just don't post them on the front page. Just the other day I turn on the TV to watch the news and they are showing video from a funeral and proudly show the young persons body in a coffin. Some may not have a problem with that but to be honest I did not like it one bit.

Discuss Guns on here, in Canada or the UK, etc and you are flagged as a Cowboy or something similar by a few people. The subject has a way of getting peoples blood going. But here is Texas..... Going out PLINKING is recreational fun for many of us. Some of us teach our children GUN Safety early in life. Its just normal everyday stuff.

And although I LOVE meat and fully understand where it comes from I really don't feel comfortable viewing slaughter house photos. Not saying that is what we are seeing here. Just saying these photos approach the edge of my comfort level.

Just personal preference. Not saying good or bad. Just different.

And the great thing is if I dont like it I can stop looking and move on. Shame most people don't get that.

Thank you for the mini travel log. It's nice to be able to see how the rest of the world live.

I'll be traveling with my GMT IIc to Viet Nam soon and hope to share some photos as well.
