The *new* Barrow Downs photo page!

[alatar]

This is why we need the photo page, as none of you have the moniker "Bob" or "Tim" but have more interesting names that confound all understanding.

And just what's a Bethberry supposed to look like?

002 is the best.

Clementine (silver) and Klaus (blue/gray)
When Clem was tiny and Klaus first fell in love with her: http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z...karly/sibs.jpg

Cool pictures. Note that you remind me of the 'American' (Matthew McConaughey) in the recently seen "Reign of Fire' movie.

For a moment there, Clementine's and Klaus' pose and poise made me think of Galadriel and Celeborn. Then I dismissed the thought as unfair to your gorgeous dogs. RAWR!

You and the Mrs. are pretty good looking dawgs too.

[The Might]

Well, guess it's time for a little update, since I have cut my long hair two months ago and I didn't upload any new picture.

Anyway, here's me in Spain:


The vacation was really fun, and I very much enjoyed their beer. (if you don't know Spanish, then I can tell you my T-shirt says "Save water, drink beer"

[Legate of Amon Lanc]

Hmm, I was going to say that you look completely different without the long hair, then after a while, interestingly, I came to a 180° turn and came to the conclusion that you actually don't look as differently.

You probably could do a commercial with the beer, at least the photo gives the feeling that it's a shot from a TV commercial... only it cannot be seen what beer is that which you are holding... (though whatever it was, I don't believe it will hold up to Gambrinus... or Radegast, for that matter!)

[Firefoot]

Hmm... Tigerlily doesn't seem to have been around for a while and I'm not sure if she's really still up-dating the page... but I finally have a picture I'm happy enough with to submit. So I'll just put it here for who's interested.

[Folwren]

Firefoot! How lovely! I'm glad you posted a picture. I've been wondering lately about how you looked.

You have lovely eyes and hair.

-- Folwren

[Folwren]

Here are a few pictures of my sister Finduilas and myself. It is up to you to guess which is which.

Have fun.

[Firefoot]

Thanks, Folwren.

I'm glad you posted a picture. I've been wondering lately about how you looked.

I might say the same for you - you piqued my interest after your comment...

I make my guess that the first is your sister and the second is you.

[Durelin]

My guess as well.

I agree, I love your hair, Firefoot!

I have different hair and it's all the rage this picture thing, so... >_>

Note that the third picture was at the uber awesome Harry Potter party my friend put together (she even made all the guests wands! Yes, she is amazing.), and I was being sorted...already dressed as a Ravenclaw. And Ravenclaw is what I got. My friend also made the Sorting Hat...and wrote the 'Sorting Quiz' I was taking...

Oh, and there was a rat on my shoulder (an albino rat named Daisy), but unfortunately you can't see her....

Initially, reading a little too quickly, I thought that Folwen was playing a joke on Finduilas..."Here's me and my sister. Note her long nose, wide nostrils, penchant for oats and four legs."

Nice pictures all.

[Finduilas]

So which do you think is which, Alatar? Does Folwren pose with her horse, or does she dress in Civil War Era clothing?

[Hookbill the Goomba]

Oxonmoot saw the meeting of many Downers who had strange ways and strange odours...
So I thought I'd post 'em up here.

In the first picture:
Hookbill, Guenevere, Esty

In the Second:
Hookbill

In the Third:
Squatter, Guenevere, Hookbill, Esty, Narfforc

In the fourth:
Hookbill, Esty, Guenevere, Squatter

In the Fith:
The Barry Wight.

[Lalwendë]

Thoroughly splendid!

I must say that narfforc looks much younger with his hair grown.

All weekend me and davem were saying "Oh, they'll just be having lunch now" or "The dealer's room will be opening around now" and so forth.

Drat.

[Estelyn Telcontar]

Great photos, Hookbill, and you were fast in getting them up! I'll look through mine in the course of the next days and see if there are any to add.

A lie, I say! False! False! Identity theft!!

Esty in GREEN? Why, I've heard her say she would never wear green as it's nowt one of her "Colours" even if it was a BD tee. And her tee was made into a carrying sac for the Birmingham meet.

Hooky, m'lad, what have you done wi' her?

Unless of course she's redone her colours and decided that green will do. 'suppose that's always possible.

And what I want to know is, did anyone see fit to ask Squatter to recreate his perilous climb and jump over the graveyard fence?

Of Guinevere I can say nothing except she does not ressemble a banshee in the least.

And of narf, well, nice to see the white hair and beard are gone. Better not to filter a tankard through all that?

[narfforc]

I am getting younger by the day, this time next year I will be 21 again (being only 87 now). Esty didn't appear to have aged since Aston, maybe we share some Dunedain blood .

Some people have no appreciation for genetic experiments.

But I think that all the Downers should go to the next moot all dressed as Barrow Wights, that would make a good photo for this here page (and my newspaper)!

[Estelyn Telcontar]

To Hookbill's defence - the Downs T-shirt is the genuine thing. Our photoshop expert did not retouch the picture. I had sewn it into a carrying tote for Birmingham 2 years ago, but did it so cleverly and carefully that I was able to undo the stitches and use it as intended by its makers. It is not quite original though - I down-sized it to fit me (i.e. a female figure) better. As to the color green, well, I only wore it for the initial get-together. I chose colors that become me better for the rest of Oxonmoot.

How very practical yet feminine!

Yikes! That sounds so like, yes, yes it does . . .

Is this what happens to REB writers if they wait too long for posts? Do they start channelling their characters?

[Gil-Galad]

okay so i'm sending a new picture to replace my rather old one... and this one includes my face so be amazed!

[Beleg Cuthalion]

I don't mean to knock Tigerlily at all, but since she does not seem to be around much or have the time, perhaphs there is some one else who could take over updating the photo page. I mean no disrespect to Tigerlily what so ever.

Just a thought

I've asked this of Tigerlily, but she said the password is linked to her e-mail password so she'd rather not give it out. So if someone else should trake over updating the page (Tig didn't seem to have anything against it in principle), I'm afraid s/h should make a whole new photopage.

[Macalaure]

But couldn't Tigerlily just change the password and then give it out?

*scratches head*

[Thinlómien]

I don't know. Maybe she can't change it without changing her e-mail password as well...

I could, as I have already several unused storages in the internet. But I warn you that it won't look as nice!

Should I try it?


EDIT: I could copy the whole of Tigerlily's page and put it on a different server, but I'm not sure it she'd appreciate me doing so.

EDITEDIT: What is the best way to ask her about such arrangments?
