    I haven't been to your place but some family and a few friends have. To be fair the better parts of the UK on a summers day without people is beautiful and the best place in the world but its never summer and its full of people. It takes a monumental effort to be alone in Britain. Population density of NZ = 15, USA = 31, UK = 246. Nuff said.

    I have seen some photos of the beaches and many are rocky - is that why its bad ? The ones I saw were like that but very pretty all the same.

    I use firefox and I have no issues with new posts though sometimes the site is a bit slow and can time out new posts. Dunno really.

    I am drooling a bit too. The Linz site has something new on it. High res Darwin Glacier shots in a mosaic. I was looking for glacier photos and they are hard to come by. These are superb tho. Shows both lateral and longitudinal morrains and the ice breakup on steep slopes etc excellent. I will have to grab and process all of these into a big mosaic for my personal viewing pleasure.

    some are rocky, but i like rocks, the reason they arnt that good, is because:
    (a)highly poluted
    (b)most u cant see the bottom when its only .5 of a meter below the water

    That's very surprising. With that small a population I would not have thought it. I live on the mouth of a big estuary where the water is brown from silt all the time. Also most of the UK has foggy water but mainly from animal and plant life in it. The UK pumps a lot of unprocessed sewage out to sea in many areas and there are action groups opposed to it - mainly the surfers. But I wouldn't say it was polluted in a toxic chemical kind of sense. I'll have to look up about it and see how it compares.
