Some pics from my ride back in my Triumph Scrambler days. http://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/...rsurglane3.jpg http://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/...rsurglane2.jpg http://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/...ursurglane.jpg The church where the inhabitants were gathered and were burned to death if they survived the hand grenades. http://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/...rsurglane4.jpg What remains of the alter - I had a tear in my eye when I saw the child's pram http://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/...rsurglane5.jpg The remains of the church bell that melted in the fire. http://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/...rsurglane6.jpg |
Thanks for the pics.....I will take a ride up soon and make a ride report also...
:) . |
these photos are amazing, i could spend days there trying t find good angles, riding would have to take a backseat for a while
just not now though...riding in Cuba is in my near future instead |
My pro photographer buddy did indeed get some great snaps....
:) . |
your in box is full
so i thought you would mind if i post this here...
i was putting up a new post and saw your three posts of the belchite decimated village, even though i have looked at them numerous times i wondered if you had a gps track for that ride so i could get straight to it, as the surrounding scenerary was great as well not sure when it will be but i would like it on file if possible hope you have a great new year rtwpaul - currently in columbia |
