What a wonderful thread.
Some photos of untouched rock on the east coast of New Zealand.

Not really all that far from where most of the pictures in this thread were taken. (And what a treat to see Greg's shots of family day at LHP)
Edit: Jim, yes, about 10k south of B'ham in Larrabee State Park.

Driving south toward the Spanish coast one winter evening after a day of climbing we crested a hill and got a view of the sun setting over the sea, with a red/orange glow above distant hills.
It took a minute to realize those distant hills were in Africa. I felt the strangest sensation... an almost physical pull. I'll probably never get there, something I'll always regret.

That last shot of yours...

Ghost- my family went across to Morocco for about a week back in 1969. Radically different from Spain and the rest of Europe.
Egypt and Jordan are next on my African wish list.

Wishing that Jordan was in Africa is... uhhmm...

The second post to this thread simply says "Thalassa! Thalassa!"
I can't believe there isn't a single classical scholar here who can identify who said it, and in what context. Ron, Anastasia (hint), Rich, Ed, someone?
Hint: "delendaest" is another classical allusion, though I haven't yet figured out the Carthaginian reference.
Bump.

Well, yes, a genus of ladybug. But I don't think that's what Xenophon's mercenaries had in mind when they shouted "Thalassa! Thalassa!"

Nice picture allapah but it seems to have a story. That earth-moving heavy equipment is quarrying? What do they use the stone for?
I'll need to check with my sister but I think her husband worked as a physician in Nome for a while.

hey there say, all.... i sure love the sea.... was always by it, whether in calif, or south texas... loved the time there with my mom ... and with my kids...
a sad note, though, as december aproaches... i remeber the tital wave, that christmas season.... each year, there is that reminder, before the new year, now, to be thankful for having family with us, still...
we always loved santa cruz, calif, in our family...
and for me and the kids, it was the south texas gulf...
though, i know for others, the sea is vast in its rich beauty, the world over...
well, just praying for all to have a thankful new year, as the winter presses on...
