    You know, when I have lots of days off, like now, I really enjoy searching the net for high resolution photos. It's so much fun.

    A while back when I did that my laptop crashed a couple of days later.
    Guess what happened yesterday morning??

    "It's so much fun"... tsss rolleyes

    I still have the same desktop image I've had for several years now -- myself sitting and gazing out over the Norwegian mountainside during a hike up our highest mountain in September-2008. It has extra meaning to me now, as that trip was the last thing I ever did before the health issues began. So it's at the same time nostalgic for me (a better time in my life), but also a reminder that I hope to get back to that shape some day:

    It's a little "drawn out" as it comes across there (I'm not THAT fat), but yeah, it was a lucky shot that my friend managed to take there.

    Notice the painted, red "T" on the stone to the right? That's the guide for the hikers.

    Interestingly the mountains look very similar to the ones in Scotland, huge glaciated valleys with the tops of the mountains 'shorn' off, like Scotland I expect the mountains would have been far higher hundreds of thousands of years ago, maybe even of Andes or Himalayan proportions?

    I think they're both part of the same mountain range?!

    I can't remember but it does seem VERY likely. Britain wasn't always an Island(s).

    I think that they were - and were also all connected to the Appalachians!!
