Cool Panoramics

My fancy new camera has a cool function allowing for Panoramic pictures to be taken and then automatically aligned in Photoshop, here are some of my favourites from the year.

At the outskirts of Freiburg near the Opfinger See

Near the top of Interlaken, we were standing where there was a glacier back 50 years ago.

This was taken in Turkey in the Cappadocia region.

Back with updates!

Sorry for the lack of updates as of late, but blogger is simply a pain in the ass to upload pictures to, especially with flickr and facebook making it so hassle free. But for those of you that don't have either here are a few pics from the last couple weeks here in Freiburg!

Charlie and Tom in deep thought.

View from Fierelings.

I rollerbladed up to the top of this hill all the while playing ball hockey, a good workout but I am sure i looked a bit strange to locals.

Yes its wine season again and the grapes are amazing!

Innovation is the name of the game, Guiness with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, Guiness float anyone?!?! (on a side not it actually tasted not bad!)

The Juan and Maria.

We wanted to have a Spanish themed party for Juan but the only hats we could find all said Fosters.

Another Spanish goodbye party, this time for Jesus.

This Rainbow was very impressive, the first one i'd seen since I was like 10 years old.

And its all for Fierelings!

Biking to Opfinger See.

The pub crew.



After our successful rendition of I'm Too Sexy we order Jamieson straight up.

Oh yeah, manly men.

The most amazing birthday present of all time.

Stockholm

I spent last weekend visiting Billy in Stockholm. The city is very cool and is a total mashing of nature and city, with lakes, parks, tree lined streets the whole shabang.

Shortly after take off from the airport on the way back.

This was probably one the most impressive things I have seen before, a 16th (I think) century ship that sunk shortly after its maiden voyage, it sat at the bottom of the Baltic sea until the 1950 when it was raised up. Too bad that you can't actually go into it though.

Literally walking a few feet behind Billy's residence and you are immediately in what is strangely similar Northern Ontario, around 3 minutes later and you are at a series of lakes and beaches, very cool indeed.

I was debating rock climbing here, instead I just took a few pictures.

At the end of the city hall garden, not too many city halls in the world can boast water front real estate.

H and M in Stockholm?? No way! You couldn't walk a block without finding another H&M, to give you perspective is like Tim Horton's in Canada.

At the city hall again.

After having an epic BBQ we went into town to watch the Sweden Canada semi finals. The place was packed with hockey loving Swedes and Billy and I as the only 'real' Canada fans.

These guys were hard core hockey fans, the guy on the left loved Detroit, especially Holstrom. He even offered Billy an all inclusive trip to his home town in Sweden!

In the end he ended up giving him his hat. The trip is still up for discussion I think.

Later on we went to house party and corridor party and I displayed my body checking abilities to Billy. I think he approved of it!

One of the streets in old town.

View of the city

One of the rooms in city hall was decked out in gold and mosaic. I didn't have a good pic of the entire place but this one turned out well.

Another picture of the down town.
