What a great idea Michele. I'll upload some of the photographs fom my 3 trips to France last year.
llizard, I think cycling in London would be similar to cycling in any large city- way too scary for me.

David, I have cycled (under duress, I admit) in Paris during rushhour. It was - hmmmm - shall we say, exhiliarating?? I found that as long as I rode as if I knew what I was doing and where I was going - signalling firmly and making eye contact with crazed drivers - things went okay. Would that method work in London?

I know there are lots of cyclists in London but I have no idea of their typical lifespan or the techniques they employ to avoid death. Are you planning on cycling in London?

They updated the plus613 site, now images are classified according to their contents, so it is much safer, you can for instanca see the last landscape pictures upladed following this link:
http://www.plus613.com/gallery/recent/0/13/
It maybe the case that some link doesn't work well for the moment, so now and then you may still find accidentally some ~p~or~n~ picture, but they are workng on it, and it is much safer now. However I advice that voting can still be "dangerous" because after voting you are redirected to another image (I do not know how exactly it is picked).
See if you like these latest uploads of mines:

They have all been taken last spring near my home town, at Monte Argentario, Touscany, Italy of course

I added many images to y personal page on plus613, you might find them interesting, they include touscnay landscapes, anchient roman ruins, and medieval towns. All pictures taken by me or by my girlfriend during our trips.
I recall my pictures are at http://www.plus613.com/uploader/mkcerusky
I'd like to observe also that the site is much safer now, and for instance if you want you can browse it viewing only images that have been chategorized as landscapes. Of course because categorization is done with a voting systemyou might now and then accidentally find some unpleasant picture, but it is much safer then it used to be.
You can see for instance the top rated landscapes:
http://www.plus613.com/gallery/top_rated/0/13/
Or you can access to the "safe" mode and browe all the safe images:
http://www.plus613.com/gallery/safe/0/

I'm afraid that their idea of "safe" and my idea of "safe" are different. Perhaps I'm old-fashioned but I don't consider a photo of an airbrushed bleachedblonde girl wearing only a frilly maid's apron and mooning the camera to be part of the "safe" category. It's not that I'm a prude. But I am opposed to this sort of insistance that soft ~p~or~n~ be so pervasive. I'm guessing that the problem might be that the categorization is left up to the person uploading the picture. A normal person will categorize correctly. But some dweebs will purposely categorize those boring nudy shots as landscapes and think it's a good funny joke.
I think I'll stick to looking only at your pictures, Michele and perhaps not voting, just in case.
