If so, what countries are they from?<BR/><BR/>Here in N Ireland, tourists fall generally into 2 categories - coach loads of Americans, coming back to their roots, on a whistle stop tour of Ireland, including a few hours at Giants Causeway. The second tend to be europeans in camper vans, usually wearing lots and lots of clothes, hats and scarves on what we consider to be a warm day and we are all in t-shirts!<BR/><BR/>Since "peace" definite increase in tourism generally, and we don't mind sharing :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06833388514253606318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-58854646788127700782008-08-31T03:07:00.000-08:002008-08-31T03:07:00.000-08:00Oh, that was beautiful!

And I met a man walking a reindeer right down the street in the middle of Anchorage! Still a little on the frontier side, I would say.

If it's a site such as a government site where it's difficult to get permission I give attribution of where I found the picture, linking to the site, in the post. Though actually? I've just tried to avoid the whole situation in general by using my own photos entirely nowadays, just to be careful. If someone objects to how you've done it they'll usually just ask you to remove their photo so if you do it wrong you'll probably hear about it.<BR/><BR/>And just to be clear, these photos are all my own shots :)Scribbithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03178711182424809035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-75697943878536938702008-08-28T07:02:00.000-08:002008-08-28T07:02:00.000-08:00The Seward Hwy view is stunning!
