Comments for the nature thread.

I really like the garden posted by Kopenhagen. My new backyard is a blank slate I would love to find the time to make something like that. It reminds me of a Japanese garden. If I cound get the tree laying on its side in Dsk's pic...it'd be great!

The Moeraki boulders posted by Am*3...bit of a mystery those things. Millions of years ago the oceans were red due to a high iron content. Stromatolites (sort of the early version of coral reefs) formed all over the planet producing oxygen creating a rust in the ocean which formed the iron deposites we dig up today and changed it's colour to what it is now.

It's possible those boulders are Stromatolites. Maybe your drier hotter weather caused the smoother shape than elsewhere.

Jimmy, that is the Japanese garden in Tivoli gardens.

Aha, I was right, lol.

I don't have the cord to download pics from my camera, but took some yesterday for the thread. Although so many are really good I'm having a hard time not giving each one a kudo. The pics I took can't compare anyway....too much concrete. 🙂

Strange question. I went to look but the place I live now only has a shower. It's really big, I could cram 8 people in...3 with room to spare (or spar...spa). Considering the thread we're in I'll say....

I can picture the bath tub at my old place and it has a flood hole...naturally!

This is a reminder to be civil towards each other. Please bring the thread back on topic.

Thanks!

Pimpy re: that picture of the tortoise on the gravel surface.  

Were you as close to him as the photo suggests? If so, I sure hope that is not  a road.  

There were a few tortoises in my local market garden area that used to "dam hop" by crossing a road. 

I quite like the photos of the patterns/textures of treebark that you have presented, too.

yep, I was that close, I sat the camera on the road then waited, and waited for him to stick his head back out.

And yes it was on a road. The road was blocked at either end by flood waters though, so Mr Turtle was quite safe.

I was a little more concerned for you, and whether you "looked right, looked left, looked right again".

I am not laughing at that comment (honest, I aren't).
