C'mon Laurinquë! There are no qualifications. The Barrow Downs photo page is no "meet our most honourable members in the order of their significance and history of this site" -page. It's where you give us others a face we can put into our minds while reading your posts whatever they are.

Btw. I finally sent a pic of me to the photo page. I look like a maniac there but if you click the whole picture it miraculously softens and starts to look more lenient... That pic is taken by Rune at our summer cottage less than a month ago and I guess it ended the last page. So the next one will open a new page!

Who's first on the next page?!?

If ever I decide to put my Malay face into that page of Caucasians, how should I do it? And... well, will anybody want to see it anyway?

We have a Czech proverb - I am not sure what the etymological origins are and it would really interest me - that somebody looks like "an owl from (or of) noodles". (I don't even know if it's meant the way that the owl is made from noodles, or that it looks out of a pile of noodles. Probably the latter, though.) But I think maybe it might fit you on this picture



Nah, it's an okay pic

That's a beautiful church, Lindale. (I'm assuming it's a church...)

the history of that photo

An old Anglican church built during the American colonization period in the Cordillera area (around the 1900s I believe). Those Anglo-American missionaries succeeded in less than twenty years where the Spaniards failed for three hundred years--Christianizing the area. That is in Sagada, Mt. Province, way up in in the northern mountains of the Philippines, where the people are believed to be dogeaters and savage head-hunters (true, in a sense). Beside the church is the Anglican graveyard, and opposite that is the very traditional graveyard of the Igorots (hollow tree-trunks as sarcophagi, which hang very gracefully on the mountain cliffs), which thankfully the Anglo-Ams did not destroy. Well, if they did, the Igorots would have hunted their heads like they did the Spanish.

Oh by the way, that was taken two or three years ago, so maybe the wave of modernization has more or less changed the area... I hope not.

I thought I'd join you so you won't feel so alone, Lindale. It's just the problem of finding a decent picture. I'm dashingly handsome of course, but I can't seem to find a photographer good enough to capture it on film. Or perhaps I need a new camera.

Don't know who runs this show but I attached a few pics of various size.. er.. take your pick!

Dashingly handsome, eh? I've never found someone here in BD that... fits my taste when it comes to the face-value. Well, the family always thought I have a very weird taste for boyfriends and crushes; this must be another manifestation. peace man!
