This is a special celebratory page, all the pictures are links to the page they have headed in the past 10 years - click on the picture to go to the page. Man standing beside auto holding baby. If you had opened this page ten years ago (bar six days) you would have seen this picture in this position - at the page top - maybe you did, if so special congratulations on still hanging in here after 10 years. Click on the picture to see the page on the Chambur area of Bombay/Mumbai This is a celebratory page of photos all of which have already been on these Picture Posting pages. Two years after the first Picture Posting, it was joined by the Mosaic pages on alternate Saturdays, to date there have now been 330 pages of photos in this section of the ColinBrydon.net site, that means there are some 8 to 9 thousand photos for you to browse! Out of those I have chosen 34 from 330 pages. Naturally I wanted to work better shots into this ... ...anniversary sample, beyond that I was looking for a variety of places and subjects. Clicking on an image takes you to the page which has that photo at its head. The top half of the page, above the one celebrating the fifth anniversary, are landscape photos, below, are more of people. Ruin with high arch and cross caught in sunset. Jumping on a few thousand years to a page on the island of Lindisfarne and Bamburgh Castle, north Northumberland Pyramids with sphinx in foreground. Starting with the oldest monument on this page, here forming a link to photos of some of the sites in Cairo Castle on steep hill, town around. And northwards to another famous castle - Edinburgh, taking you to the first of a set of pages about this monument Line of bombs with sleeper beside them. And from old defences to modern warfare -
