Photos of private flying
To add some colour to the posts, perhaps we need some photos. Photos of your flying/scenery, and a few of your pride and joy (the plane) are intended. To respect the rights of others, they should be amateur photos you have taken, or are taken of you. (we'd like to respect copyright privileges others may hold on their photos). Please assure that the photo size is 800 by 800 or smaller so it displays nicely.
Feel free to say a bit about the photo...
I'll start, with my theme for this post being Canadian "bush" scenery.

I'm certainly no IT expert, but I do the following to get my photos posted here: I use the "Batch Processing" function of Adobe Photoshop Elements to resize a group of photos to 800 by 800 pixels maximum. Make sure that you constrain the ratio, so it does not stretch or compress one axis of the photo. I upload the resized photos to my Photobucket account, from which their unique "address" can by copy and pasted into the dialog box you get when you select the insert image icon in the tools above. Sometimes it can fiddly, so check what you've uploaded to see it is what you intended. Note that photos exceeding 800 pixels in any dimension will cause the PPRuNe pages to be buggered up. Photobucket can also be used to resize, but I have found this challenging, with my modest website skills....
Let's have some photos of where other PPRuNe members fly... I'll put up some more later....

Personally I like to look at photographs more than I do videos. Excellent start there, if there's enough interest is there any chance of making this a sticky?

Fantastic pics from Canada, do want to fly there!

Oh, excellent photos Tupperware!
Here are some from today's flying. I was not flying the CHRISTEN EAGLE, not my sort of flying but I do like to watch!

And, just a few days ago, the recovery of a WW 2 training aircraft from the depths of a central Ontario lake. I landed, and taxied up for a chat with the crew, who had recovered some of the plane by that point.

These are all private flying
A few pictures of me having fun. The cub features a lot, because that's what I fly the most. But you can also see the 1930s Rhonsperber glider, which I was privileged to fly at Lasham, and some of the Grunau babies I aerowed from a hill site in Poland (using the cub, which has been to many countries, rather slowly, though faster than the balloon)
It has even been to Le Bourget, for free, on International women's day, together with a Stampe, the only two taildraggers present that day.
I do fly modern gliders and aircraft as well!
