No proper vacation, but I made a few weekend visits to the U.K. In early July I was in Bath for a concert of theatre music by Elaine Paige and Michael Ball. The second photo is from a short reenactment of a scene from Sunset Boulevard. Photo #3 is the Avon River and the Poulteney Bridge.

Two weeks later I was in Cardiff, Wales for another of Michael's concerts, this one for the Prince's Trust. Unfortunately, because it rained heavily throughout the outdoor concert, I didn't take any photos. These photos are of Tintern Abbey, which is about 30 minutes drive from Cardiff

I was back in the U.K. in August, that time in Scotland for the Edinburgh Tattoo. I also made a visit out to Rosslyn Chapel.

DD, that's it...I'm moving to Seattle.
kec, lovely photos, but the thing I am envious of is that you got to see Elaine Paige reenact part of Sunset Boulevard. I reluctantly went to see it in London when she was starring in it and became a loyal and devoted fan! She is the definitive (musical) Norma in my book.

I also did some touring in the country in which I presently live, Switzerland. I spent my birthday 7000 feet up on Mount Pilatus, which overlooks the city of Lucerne (the photo was taken from my hotel room). The second photos is Old Town Lucerne taken from a boat on the lake.

Miss Pennywise, that was the first time I had ever seen Ms. Paige perform live, and it was a wonderful experience. She and Michael sang well together, and each were fantastic in their solo parts. They also did a duet from Chess (You and I, I believe). I'm very much hoping they will do another such concert in the future.

I would love to see them in concert, kec. And your pix are just lovely.
Come on over, Miss P. There's about a 2-week period of nice weather left.

Finally, this past weekend, I visited the town of Zermatt, nestled at the base of the Matterhorn. When I arrived on Sunday, and took the rack rail to the Gornegrat, the first photo shows the summit of the Matterhorn, shrouded in cloud. It stayed like that all day. Monday was MUCH better, as you can see by the second photo, taken just after 7 a.m. from my hotel room balcony. The third photo was taken on the Klein Matterhorn, 12,000 feet high. I took three different cable cars to get up there. There were several people up there who were skiing and snowboarding. I really lucked out with Monday, as it was absolutely crystal clear up there.

kec, your photos belong in National Geographic.
DD, are you saying that "rainy season" starts two weeks from now? If so, please go out and take more pictures NOW!

It starts to get overcast about mid-September with regular rain. Once that Fall Equinox hits, it gets dark quickly, as our days become shorter faster. *sigh* That's the price we pay for 10 pm sunsets in the summer.

Don't know if you've already been there, but when you're in South Kensington you HAVE TO visit the "Victoria and Albert Museum"!
It's amazingly interesting and right now they have a small exhibition on "Sixties Fashion"...

OK. But you have to take Louis.
Thank you everyone for posting these. I feel like I've been on a round-the-world trip myself. All are beautiful!

Oh, I forgot.
THIS is how I've spent my summer vacation: stalking closeted boys in Chelsea!
(ok, maybe not closeted. Your call).
So far, I've found:
Tobey Maguire (I know it's from the back)
Anderson Cooper (This was just now at lunch)

bwaysinger...it seems to me that both of these photos could be posted on the "old hands" thread with rather amusing captions. (I know my mind is in the gutter, but whose isn't?)
