I Think this is my balcony

Excuse this indulgence, but I’ve been meaning to sort out a way of hosting pics. This should be a pic of my balcony here in HK.

Beautiful shot, but you should really use www.flickr.com. It’s head and shoulders above the others.

Thanks, MM. Sorry I really meant this to be a temp folder to play in

Here’s a flickr attempt. Excuse my ignorance here if you could.

HG

And it’s free.

Nice view you’ve got, want to swap? If there’s no pollution, I have a view of the mountains, but that only happens after typhoons.

Beautiful view!

Try putting up a larger image - Forumosa automatically downsizes it until you mouse over it, and then you can see the original size.

Bastard…that is your balcony.

Yes, and you were invited around several times. But you know what’s really missing? The sound of the waves.

Thanks, guys, I hate being an idiot. :blush:

Earwig go, earwig go . . .

I can’t see any point where I could make it bigger.

HG

Trying, yes I;m trying.

Click on “all sizes” just above your photograph, and in the centre. Then select the size you’d like to display. Then scroll down and grab the URL from Box No. 2, where it says “2. Grab the photo’s URL:”

Then paste it here, with the appropriate Img tags front and back. Presto!

LOL Maoman!
That’s one of the least subtle cases of showing off that I’ve seen in a while! And I should know. :laughing:

I don’t know if I was invited or not, but I’m going to take the liberty of inviting myself. Thanks HG. I’ll let you know when I’ll be in HK. That looks too good to miss. I remember it, too, from some past post of yours about a great breakfast on the porch, watching the waves, etc.

I guess it’s time for me to check it out too. I’ve used photobucket.com (also free) for years, just because that’s what I tried first. But everyone seems to prefer flickr, so I guess it’s time to find out.

A big thank you Maoman! And no way in hell could I up on that scene! :laughing:

I think the poor quality resolution here is cos these are from a phone camera.

Showing off? Are you kidding? Didn’t you see the unsightly radio antennas in the background or whatever they are? I don’t know if I could endure a vacation in a place like that.

Of course you’re invited! Do it. I should advise you though that the rest of the house is crap.

HG

Still playing. So ferchrissake please temp!

Me in the army . . . the short bloke to the far left; naturally.

An unfortunately poor res pic of two ladies in my life. Lil’ Thai princess kicking back on the couch with her ma.

The lil’ Thai princess being plumed and plucked for Loi Krathong.

I’ve woken up in worse places.

Invite me over and I’ll make you look like a teetotaler in front of the missus - you won’t cop any grief for a while for the boozing.

but he’ll drink all your whiskey and beer. And you’ll need your carpet replaced…and the walls repainted…and your pet sheep will be bleeting for weeks afterwards.

I will bring 2 bottles of scotch next time I take in your view.

looks like you live in Stanley. bastard.

make sure your images inside [img] tags end in .jpg, or they won’t work.

bleeting = bleeding or bleating? both would fit.
