Lo, tis me, I have returned.

Photos etc. when they get developed.

Am too tired to compose coherent sentences at this point as have travelled on one large boat and two nice aeroplanes in short space of time.

I want a heli-go-flopper because they're really cool and a 737 to keep as a pet in my backyard.

Oh and Reinder, guess what? I found Atra on Heron Island! But you'll have to wait for my photos to get developed to learn more about her!

Was she made of coral though?

Gilda, I totally agree with you

There are ways of arranging this...

Have you got *photos* of me, Lyss?
I bet they're those nude baby photos.

I'll get my polaroid camera out and see if I can get a decent self-portrait happening.

There we go. Had argument with mother-type person as to how I should look re: smile etc. Now also have huge reddy blue spots floating in front of my eyes from the flash.

And while I'm at it, here are some of my Heron Island photos, all squidged together.

<img src="http://pantheon.keenspace.com/images/heronmontage.jpg">

Now.. what have I to say about this...?

The helicopter is the Heron Island one that flies between Gladstone airport and the very landing pad you see in the photo. I would do socially unacceptable things for a ride in this helicopter. I have a thing about gofloppers. However the Heron island boat is also quite an enjoyable ride, especially when you sit out the back and get wet.

The six-wheeled buggy is the second-coolest man-made thing on Heron Island after the helicopter. I snapped this pic as the dude was driving past. Go 400-speed film!

The chicken-like bird is a rail. These don't like to fly and run around on the ground nicking food and fighting with each other. They also (as you can see from the photo) get on the tables and eat food off there, if you leave any.

Below it, a silvereye. These are basically the same as rails, only smaller and they fly and come in flocks. They also poo on the clean lunch-things that are set out on the table.

On the right and under the sign are reef egrets. They come in grey and white as you can see. Heron Island is named after them. I like them because they walk around with their shoulders hunched and they look quite serious and owl-like.

Pic in the bottom right is a shot down the southern side of the island from Shark Bay. On the right, Heron Island National Park. On the left, the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park.

Finally, a baby green turtle. These are very cute and we devoted some time to rescuing them from the gulls and putting them in the sea.

Another montage may come in future.

Wow! So young! Good heavens...

I now have a profile with an old pic of me here: http://ship-of-fools.com/cgi-bin/cgiwra ... u=00000716

The pic is from 1998. It's a link from the last remnants of my master's website -- after he passed away the guy who set it up kind of made it a memorial site but it seems to be fading away. That site is here: http://www.geocities.com/WestHollywood/ ... eulogy.htm

Hugs all! I wonder what the rest of you look like?

Ok, that profile pic seems kind of spotty, so let's see if this works:

Me in 1998

Well, I can be seen at:

Of course, like ChastMastr's, since it's at GeoCities, you'll have to click on the link, then get the error message from GeoCities, then press {Enter} on the location area to get to see the picture. GeoCities won't serve external links. Once you do that, the picture should appear in the forum for you.

And I thought I had seen a picture of Timmerryn and someone amongst the sculptures, on a mantle. But obviously, it wasn't him.

Edits for coding problems.

I'm the one with the grizzled hair on the left

Metrobius · Post by **Metrobius** » Thu Apr 11, 2002 11:09 pm

The only other photo I have of me on the net, as far as I know, is the one on the Keenvention website.

Photo among sculptures... I wonder if it was a pic of Scott Maddix or Tony Port that you're thinking of. I have a vague recollection of seeing a photo of Scott with my sculptures.

Now.. who are we missing a photo of...?
Gilda! Where are you? Send us a decent pic of yourself!

Reinder · Post by **Reinder** » Fri Apr 12, 2002 12:53 am

Or send an indecent pic. We're not choosy.

Woof, Detail! Ever get to DC?
