Time for a flagrant photo thread (BC)
 
It's a dreary Tuesday over here in the land where it always rains, so I thought I'd share some photos with you. Apologies to those who may have seen some of these in the Maple Leaf, I've added some new ones!

First set: Tofino sunsets.

Yes, gorgeous photos, but I'm not sure that is where the money is nowadays, but still. Even Alberta is losing jobs. Hopefully Sask will be able to hold out until the States manages to sort out those banking crooks - if they ever do - and things get back on a bit of an even keel again! Fingers crossed.

It' got nothing to do with "you" in leather.

It's just the person and the motorcycles distract greatly from the scenery. ;)

In order to make them large you have to have them on a web site and then link to them like you did with your others.

If you just upload from your computer you get the small thumbnails to click on. :)

Bought it here!:thumbup:

It's probably cheaper to buy here than in England!

Hubby would be so jealous if he saw these photo's - he was gutted that he couldn't take his Thruxton over with him.
