As I already said, that pic was taken in a working place. That reason I didn't wear the Codeguru shirt which is only for festive occasions. ;)

Ah, I forgot to mention the garage that can be seen in that photo. Asap, you'll find there the best software company from south-east of Europe. :D :D

Did you wear it when you reached the 4k post mark? ;)

Nice pic Ovidiu. :)

EDIT - Not lucky with the image... See photo that comes later... :D

Sid, where's the picture? :confused:

Ehh... This is really wierd. I could see it till sometime back, and now I can't.

I edited my post, and supplied the URL again, and now it's there again (at least on my screen)

Do you see it now?

Just an idea, Sid: Perhaps you should put it on a public server, not on your local machine...;) :D

Hmm. Strange. :) Now I see it. Nice scenery! :thumb:

LOL... Thanks for that tip. :D :)

I think for some reason BLOGGER did not allow me to share that photo... So, I have attached it this time.

Nice pic, man :thumb:

Nice pics Mathew, Ovidiu and Sid. :thumb:

No? Try this after 11 PM. Close the door. Turn off the lights and stare at those eyes for a while. What do you feel?? :eek:

Not to be tried by kids, girls, and those who are having high blood pressure or feeble heart.

Ovi, your head misses your hair...and so do we :)

I went trekking from the bottom of the hills to one of the peaks called Kehlstein at 1835 m above sea level - a really strenuous climb at 25% incline - one that most people avoid by taking a bus to the top. Being frisky as we could be, we decided to walk it ourselves! Apart from the great trek, the view all along the way was so much worth it!
(Those people in the bus don't know what they missed!)

Here is how the world looks from this peak...

The lake you see in the background (in the photos above and below) is The Koenigsee (literally translated: King's Lake). The water here is so clean and clear that it is said to be of drinking-water quality!

Initially I had planned taking a swim in this lake what with the day time temperatures being a pleasant 28°C. But, my mind quickly changed when I dipped my feet in the water. It took some serious rubbing to bring them out of my closest experiences with frost-bite. :D

This lake is created by the valley as you would see below...

Wonderful, I'd really like swim in there no matter the frost-bite!!!

Really cool one that Sid.. the one with the lake in the back-ground... between the hills..

This is just what anyone / everyone who sees this lake thinks... Till (s)he steps in it. :eek: :D

Seriously though, I did see one person swim and am all praises to his mental stamina and his taste in inflicting self-torture. :D

Thanks, Abhishek... :)

Though, honestly speaking - the photos do poor justice to the place itself!

How do you manage to visit so many places? These people here don't even allow us enough leaves? I hate them so much for bringing such work culture in India.. it is ruining lives.. There is so much in life beyond work! I have always wanted to visit mountains with rivers fighting their way through and the sound of their run-ins. Trees bowing their heads in respect to the winds... birds conversing in a language that I would never understand... Aahh... it hurts!

Nice pics, Sid. :thumb: Keep posting...

Thanks again guys... Bringing these beautiful places to you all is my pleasure too.

Good question.

If I told you that I drove 5500 kms in the last 25 days - and 90% of those in the weekends - would you believe me? :)

I didn't use a single day's leave... Not that I haven't enough, or didn't want to - but, project's deadlines at this moment don't let me take workdays off.

Perhaps, you are right...

But, as you may have noticed above - even enjoying a good vacation takes a reasonable amount of effort. An effort that photos don't convey...
(Koenigsee for instance is 600 kms from home - no kidding!)

Nevertheless, lucky I may be - very lucky perhaps - to want to make that effort. :) ;)

Yes, efforts are very much required :)
Previously GremlinSA's South Africa trek realy inspired me to do something, now your pictures create urge in my brain to get up and go on vacation somewhere real good place. :D

...And very often - beautiful places are less than 6 hours of travel away. One just needs to get the hell out on a friday evening, and return on Sunday night, or a Monday morning!

hm... as Sid said you can find lotta cool places nearby. When I was at Mumbai / Pune, we office guys would team up and head on weekend treks to nearby places. It needn't be a big one, but even a nearby visit to a new place can rejuvenate you and help reduce the stress at work. Am not sure where you are located, but there ought to be getaway places anywhere. It's just that you have to find the time for it. And if you really want to do it, you will always find the time for it :)

Unfortunately not. I didn't pass the interview.
They asked me: "how many bricks you need to build a house?".
I confused bricks with lines of code and answered: "between one and half of million". :D ;)

CG has remained a very helpful, friendly community. :)
Although some members haven't been around lately (probably busy with work, among other things ;)), a lot of new members have joined CG.

If you have a lot of free time and want to have a good laugh, check the "letter from Yuliya" thread. Won't make much sense if you read the last few pages though, so I recommend you start at the beginning. :D
