Nice pictures, I especially love that it's a danish picture of the entrance to Tivoli in Copenhagen that is the first picture... :-D

Gerald,

The photos are very nice. I have been to the Neitherland but only in cities. I liked the rustic areas. What is the grey machine with the track? Was it for snow removal.

Check out the competition in the Garbage truck field.

You must have had a great time.

Gerald,
Good to see you back. Hope you had a nice trip. I couldnt help but notice though that you took a picture of several garbage trucks. :eek: Did they have any of your equipment on board? :)

Gerald...
Hope you guys had a restful good time.

I see in your photo (#55) that folks have been busy constructing a somewhat larger MechMate... :)

Welcome back...

That was a quick selection of photos just to show the variety of things that caught my eye. There are 900 more, but I won't bore you with those . . . . . . .

Yes, it is a museum piece outside the Union Hotel in Geiranger, Norway. Needed it to get guests from the cruise ships to their hotel.

That is a classic old gantry crane from a WWII bunker - thought you guys might want to see the roots :)

Very nice pictures Gerald.

For the love of ... is that still snow in some of those pictures. It's been 104 degrees F (40 degrees C) here lately. I come from good Scandinavian stock, but I handle the heat much better than the cold. My mother always said I would make King Gustaf roll over in his grave. :)

Yup, that is still snow, and in some places still 14m [45ft] thick! All roads had not been opened yet.

On getting back here, it was a shock to have to drive in the dark. Over there it was all light most of the time. We bought masking tape to fix the curtains to make our rooms darker so that we could get some sleep!
