The game is afoot (aka CC's picture thread)

What kind of berries are they? They look almost like the wild raspberries that grow here in great abundance, though the pic is a bit fuzzy and they flowered months ago.

They're of the red kind. Yes, I know it's a bit fuzzy, that's why I said the autofocus messed up. I have no idea if it's possible to focus manually, and if it is, how to manage that. Mind you, it's a very simple digital camera. Yes, they flowered months ago. In fact, that picture was taken at least weeks ago. At that time, they were still ripening, nowadays you can't find any ripe berries anymore.

As a bonus question, if the outhouse/tool shed were empty, would it be able to contain my bicycle, as shown earlier, with both wheels on the ground and not diagonally?

You know (or not, but then you do now) about my fascination about people's hair. So, I have a picture for you, and a question.

Who does this beautiful looking hair belong to?

[PirateKingChris]

Well it's a guy....I know that much.......

How so?

[Petra Rocks]

(s)he is of European decent, that's about all I can tell.

[koko_99_2001]

I think it's CC

Oops if I'm wrong....I just thought it looked like male hair.

You do know I'm male and males don't usually have hair that long, don't you?

I just thought it looked like male hair.

There's a difference between male and female hair

[PirateKingChris]

To me it looks like hair that's been grown out for the first time like this person hasn't had long hair before, thus my assumption that it's male hair. Female tends to look...I dunno...softer....My hair certainly looked bad when I was growing it out, as it grew three times as fast in the back than it did in the front.

[Deloria]

I think it's CC

I agree. Even though males don't usually have hair that long, it's hardly uncommon to see pictures of you with your hair shoulder-length.

On the other hand, I have no idea why you would be wearing a necklace/chain.

and this:

say totally opposite things.

Uncommon to see pictures of me with shoulder-length hair? It's uncommon to see pictures of me in this thread, let alone in this forum, so it should be extremely uncommon to see me with that long hair.

On the other hand, I have no idea why you would be wearing a necklace/chain.

Are you not familiar with the concept of zodiac signs and people wearing necklaces with their zodiac sign around their neck?

Finally a few months ago, like late August , my mom, my temporary foster sister and me (of course) went on a trip organised by the company I work for. Here's a pic of me & my temporary sis on that trip:

Yes, double posting, and probably three-time posting too, but I don't like to put too many pictures in one post.
A few weeks ago, I went on a trip to the USA, Fort Lauderdale, Florida to be exact and since I forgot my digital camera, I had to buy & use a disposable one. The pictures I post were not taken in the same order I'm putting them, but that way it's easiest to tell the story.

This is the type of plane in which I travelled over the ocean. Rows 3-3-2 and everyone had his/her own video screen in the back of the chair in front of him. On that video screen they showed the safety instructions, so there's no more need for the stewards & stewardesses to show everyone how it's done anymore. During flight you have the choice: listen to one of the 20 radio stations, watch one of the 9 video feeds, one of them showing live flight information, or play one of (IIRC) 5 interactive games, like a 'Space Invaders'-clone. On those videofeeds you could even watch movies, on the flight to the US only movies that were out in Europe but on the way back movies that weren't out in Europe yet but who were in the US. That was nice.


This is the type of plane in which I flew from Newark/New York to Fort Lauderdale & back. No individual videoscreens anymore, so no more interactive games, but there were monitors spread through the plane which showed the safety instructions and a selection of the videofeeds that were available on the transatlantic flight. That plane was smaller and had 3-3 seats. You could still listen to one of the 20 radio stations though, even thought what they played was also identical to what you could hear on the transatlantic flight.

I would like to add the transatlantic plane arrived at Newark too late for me to pass Immigration and get to the next gate, so I had to reschedule. Luckily, there was still a seat available on a later flight that day. Before I left there, I alerted the driver that was supposed to pick me up at Fort Lauderdale airport I would be arriving at a later time. In Fort Lauderdale, after I had picked up my suitcase I looked around for someone holding a sign of the company I was visiting but couldn't see anyone. I walked out, looked around everywhere and still couldn't see anyone. Just as I arrived back at my starting point and was thinking about calling him again, he was calling me on my cell phone. 'Where are you'? I was outside at that time. 'Come back inside'. 'Is that you?' Yes, this is me *wave*. I can't understand why I missed him the first time. We go to his car and I never expected it to be this big.

Wow, a real limousine and its driver. And please note, all expenses in the US were paid for by the company and the plane tickets were to be refunded.


This is me, standing in the doorway.


This is the inside of the limo. Nice soft seats.And very important when I arrived: fresh water. It was hot in those clothes. I stripped out some of my clothes at the top, rolled up my pant sleeves, and quenched my thirst. I fiddled a bit with contrast and stuff as I forgot to use the flash because I thought it was light enough.

Nice pics!  Your temporary sister looks a bit like Claire from the TV show Heroes.

[copycat]

Nah, the temporary sis is much prettier (and probably younger too).

[racx_00]

So, which one do you prefer? The one on the left, with a moustache and beard that hasn't been shaved for two weeks, and the hair all untidy? Or the one on the right, where the beard has been shaved off, the moustache has been trimmed and the hair has had copious amounts of water applied to it to keep it down?

Left definitely looks better!

[Rosella]

I'm with Jason. XP

[icarus]

right looks like Murdoc from the A-team 

[racx_00]

The right would be alright with the untidy hair... but the scruffy beard just adds to the look. If you shave the beard though, definitely keep the untidy hair.

[Yonkey]

I think the untidy hair is cool, with a trimmed mustache-goatee rather than a full beard.

[tessspoon]

I like the style in this with the sunglasses:
