[Former Member]

Well to be fair, I'm not new, but it looks good as a thread and since I'm in Cuba (beach, good food, snorkeling and scuba) for a week or so and letting the machines rest at home.

Hi.......

No offense to anyone for post in the wrong thread but those that have issues may need a holiday and relax....

That bollard beside the garbage can is a light fixture? Solar powered?

 

[Tom O]

Looks like it

You guys are funny! I see a vast expanse of turquoise water; white sandy beaches; I can almost smell the salty breeze as it rustles the leaves of the palm trees, and feel the glorious warmth of the sun on my face......you guys see some crooked man-made light fixture!!

When these views are in our back yard, so to speak, the interesting part is the light fixture.

True but the water is a lot warmer.

I'm with @jcdammeyer and I don't even have his views! I'd just rather go North or West or East any day every day than ever go South. The whole idea of going South is of zero interest to me!

Not interested in a white beach. But a crooked light fixture? Ya, that is interesting! But better yet is a very small selection of the things I see almost every day right here:

What's that white stuff???? Doesn't look like sand.

Susquatch posted some nice pics, first there is firewood for the camp stove, then lunch for 1 of the numerous cats, lunch for me and the hounds, frickken cold stuff and lastly a tick laden walk way.
I want the warm white sand.

Such narrow views, I Iive on the world and want to enjoy all of that it has to offer before some stupid humans destroy it all.

As to engineering/machining inventiveness you really get to see what you can do with next to nothing. You are just spoiled in what you have access too.

I've been in various places of the world and enjoy it all, live love learn and enjoy. It also lets you share what we offer in Canada (yes I do a lot of off grid back country stuff).

So enjoy what you see, be glad you have the choice to live like kings (all of us on this group) and get what you want, others are not so lucky.

There are very few countries in the world that I have not been to. Despite all the things we Canadians complain about, I have the very strong opinion that the best of the best is Canada. There are a few close seconds though. New Zealand and Australia are strong contenders. I love Canada and I count myself very very lucky to call myself Canadian.

What @Susquatch said, except New Zealand and Bali for me.

That’s one hell of a root system!

I will ask the question we have all been wanting too, but avoiding.. On the trail to mystic beach photo, what does the orange tag on the tree mean?

I just assumed @jcdammeyer has been walking in circles for 2 weeks. He got deliberately lost in paradise and finally decided to try to keep track of where he has been.

I can't zoom in to see if there are any numbers on the tag. If so, that might tell us how many times he went around that particular circle.

They really are very cool roots!

John,
I didn’t know you had Kiwi experiences.

My wife worked in Auckland, New Zealand with KPMG for a couple months while I was accessing a business in Melbourne, Australia.
New Zealand is on my list for a revisit.
