The Time Has Come To Move To Blogger

Hi all, this is possibly my last post on this blog.  No I am not giving up blogging I have started a new blog with Google Blogger.  I think this will be more suitable for me and allow me to have more flexibility.

So, what does this mean, simple, the new blog link is Peter Miller My World, it is a bit blank at the moment and probably will be for a couple or three days, I have to get my head around blogger and all of its intricacies.

Hope to see all of you folks soon and hopefully pull a few more, viewers, people, posters in.

ABC Wednesday. H Is For Heverything I Could Put A Twist On

The title says it all, at the moment all my time resource is going into sorting photos out from our last trip. So I thought I would be a tad devious and bend the title truth slightly.

The first photo is one of my hand pointing down from the Calgary Tower to some building a few hundred feet below. I am standing on a glass shelf which I found extremely unnerving.

Could not get as many good shots from here as I would of liked as it was a dull day.

The second photograph, again taken in Calgary was of one of those urban arty designs which I have called Helter Skelter.

The third I have entitled High Up In The Rockies. I consider this to be a fantastic Vista encompassing, land, water, mountains and sky. The colour of the water is due to glacial melt.

The fourth photo is of the harbour bridges in Vancouver. Plus a little of photoshop experimentation.

Thats all folks, except to say I am now totally pi**ed off with the make up of this blog and the amount of effort I have to put into it to get it right, it is not user friendly in the slightest. So I have made my decision I am moving over to blogger and will use this as an archived link. Not sure when put ASAP

Been Having A Think

Looking for some technically minded folk out there.  I have set up a blogger blog because I may change to that.  The reason is because my wordpress blog is hosted by my website provider.  It appears there is little scope to put plug -ins or add ons on my blog.  Does anyone know different to that.

If I use my new blogger blog is it possible to copy the wordpress blog over so I don’t lose any of the material I have put on there.  Would appreciate some help here or else it means starting from scratch.  It does appear though that blogger is more user friendly.

Mike, you got any ideas or do you know of someone that may be of assistance :0)

Blogroll Update

It is 5.30 in the morning, I can’t sleep, my sleep pattern is not yet back to normal.

So, I thought I would update my blogroll with all the kind persons that commented on my ABC Wednesday photographs.

ABC - Wednesday, “G” Is For Glacier

OK, this is my first attempt at this ABC thingy, “G” just happened to come at the right time. As I have seen many glaciers over the last 2 weeks I thought I would share just a few of the many photographs I have taken.

I am not suggesting that these are the best ones I have taken but they are ones that come to hand easily when uploading from my card to my computer.

Just think, if I was still using film, these would probably be developed along with the Christmas 2007 photographs.

In order they are:

01 Harvard Glacier, College Fjord, Alaska

02 Harvard Glacier, College Fjord, Alaska

03 Portage Glacier, Near Whittier, Alaska

04 Portage Glacier, Near Whittier, Alaska

05 Mendenhall Glacier, Juneau, Alaska

05-mendenhall-glacier-juneau-alaska.jpg

The last photograph shows an example of glacial calving, where huge chunks of ice break off the main glacier. This may not look impressive on this photo, you have to be there to appreciate the noise and vision. Some of the ice falling can weigh many tons.

When you are close to the glaciers it is hard to imagine that they are as tall as some of the high rise buildings you see in America.

So there you go, my first attempt, what do you think?
