Sorry Ski, this is the quote I was referring to. I am totally in the wrong about being ignored! But not this time. I'm going back to my doc. On Netflix which is GREAT! If you want to check it out I wrote about it in thread "what are you doing right now" have look it' said very interesting film done in England with English children beginning at age 7!
The third photo out of the mag is me in the school's rifle shooting team. To my embarrassment I'm that blonde dude seated second from the right. Unbelievable how we all wore suits and ties in those days.
I live in central WI. I too love otters, foxes, and any critters I see. I belong to a bird club - at 74 I'm actually a newby at bird watching - but that's my current passion. However when I'm walking I'll take a photo of anything! (Maybe taking photos is my passion. I do leave the camera on auto though.) I enjoy living here except in mid-winter.Those were awesome pictures ...I love otters, foxes, where do you live to be able to see such glory Czevski? I hope I spelled your name right! Sorry if it's wrong, next time I'll get it right.
WELL! Thanks for showing us that Andrew! What a handsome lad you were! No girls in your high school? You guys make the best mates, my first love whom I met in University was from a school like that! They had to wear a uniform, which is I think, what you all are wearing. If it was just a matter of a suit and tie, I'm sure there would be some diversions, but you are all wearing a suit and tie! Yes, WHAT a handsome boy! Now I'm going to have to go backwards to find out how you and Ski have photo's of the same school! One of you in Oz and one of you in the USA, I thought anyway?Oh, that may not be necessary ski as I just remembered I have some school magazines from all that time ago. I'll still take some photos when I'm in the area but these rather poor shots with the iPad will give you some idea of what I'm on about. I know there's little resemblance, it's just that your piccy of that beaut building on your campus stirred a memory
You must know about cranberry fields then! Doesn't most of Ocean Spray's Cranberries come from Wisconsin? How long is your winter? I know you are into fall now from those beautiful shots you shared of the leaves turning, so how many months of winter do you get and how much snow in a normal winter? Normal for the last ten years that is! When you forget your camera do you just go back to where your auto was and find it on the ground? Or have you lost 1 or 2 ?
Do you mean your high school in Oz only LOOKS exactly the same as Ski's picture of a building that was built after WWII ( I think it would be )? WOW! No kidding Andrew, those look like exactly the same building! That is truly amazing!Oh, that may not be necessary ski as I just remembered I have some school magazines from all that time ago.

Thanks squib, ah to be 17 again LOL. It was an all-boys school when I started and only turned co-ed about 10 years after I left. At some time there they decided that it would be healthy for us guys in the senior classes to have contact with girls, so under very strict supervision they would have a nearby all-girls school come over Fridays after lunch for compulsory dancing classes. Unfortunately I was also in the school army cadets with training also on Fridays after the dancing classes, So we cadets would front up in uniform with our Lee Enfield .303 rifles slung over our shoulders to the great disgust of the dancing teachers from the girls school. It was also unfortunate that when you stepped up in those heavy army boots for a fox trot or whatever you couldn't feel the constant stepping on the feet of the poor girls. I suppose they still have that, but I'm sure the dances are different. At least we got to hold the girls then
Sorry for the ramble
Well not very similar but that photo merely triggered a memory
And whoa I'm getting off topic here.
Don't you dare apologize! That was a wonderful post! It reminded me exactly of my first loves stories here in BC, Canada. He went to a private school called St. George's.Thanks squib, ah to be 17 again LOL. It was an all-boys school when I started and only turned co-ed about 10 years after I left.
