Pics of places you have swum

[Pete]

This is my favourite swimming pool spend 3-4 hours a day in there. Not at sunrise though as I am usually just going to bed.
Tolo, Greece.

Here's a pic of one of the Iron Men. These are of cast-iron and made from a mould of artists Antony Gormley's naked body. Antony Gormley is famous for his "Angel of the North" sculpture.

The lower pic shows how I was taking them using my dive camera. Thought I'd get some shots of the barnacle encrusted ones from actually in the water.

Incidentally, despite it being the end of October, the water temp was a very respectable 14.5C (58F)!

More great pics Pete and Pete!!

Two more from Cyprus - did I already say it was a great warm weather training camp?
The second one was from the coach, as we were leaving

Where is this Pete? (sorry for my ignorance!)

Crosby is just up the coast from Liverpool, on the Irish Sea just before the mouth of the Mersey. If you look carefully at the top pic, a little to the right of the radar tower and wind turbine, you can just make out the Liver Building on Liverpool's waterfront, about two miles into the river.

Ok, I know Crosby (lived in Liverpool for a year or so, Sheil Rd) - I missed you mentioning it! The scuptures weren't there then though!

And I was here (sunny Spain) only 2 weeks ago!!
Lovely little bay, the water was ok for me (though I suspect it would have been warm for you Pete!).

They've only been there for a couple of years. Sefton Council recently decided to have them removed on the usual spurious health and safety grounds, but the suits had to back down in the face of furious local opposition.

I've got to be very careful how I answer this or else Linny will have my Speedo-clad rump well and truly planted on the Naughty Stair.

Shall we say all that cold water had a similar effect on my........er.......man's bits? I'm sure they hadn't dropped into their normal place until I was well on my way home.

There's one thing you can say about the Iron Men: they're well 'ard!!

It was great to swim here.

You could see all this just swimming around with goggles. The snorkellers were just taken away with the current. Just swimming meant you were in control and saw just as much.

Michalmas Cay off Cairns.

I still haven't figured out how to post these so they appear as pictures rather than web links, anyone care to educate me?

Thanks

I don't think you can because the urls that Yahoo and Flickr use aren't fixed to a file but to a script that retrieves the photo from a database.
