It comes through albeit poor resolution. I saw a sequence from
Johnnu Bugeja at the chronicle last week take there which were
awesome.
However, its generally considered bad practice to post binaries
to text newsgroups.
I'll send you one of my images of last Sunday.

It's one of those oops! pics.
Seen the sequence of a car that falls into to the sea at a harbour. A crane
comes along to lift it out, and ends up in the brink too. A larger crane
comes to get the smaller crane out- and ends up in the water as well.
Eventually the third crane does it.

Curious though. Gib gets storms every year. Some years areworse than others,
some storms are worse than others, but every winter around this time Gib
gets winds which hit close to or over 100mph. Some damage is inevitably
sustained - the cars you point out, the wall along the cliff-top walk where
these waves are breaking, some trees are uprooted. Yet life goes on
virtually uscathed. Yet elsewhere in the world such weather is the cause of
evacuations and massive loss of life. The waves such as shown the pic pack
one hell of a punch, and elsewhere in the world are associated with massive
shoreline damage. I personally recall having seen waves at this location
where the drawback before the wave hit was so great that the sea bottom was
completely exposed for about 30m out from the cliff face.
Bad form or not to post pics - this one is certainly relevant to the NG!

Another classic piece from Jim Watt, images are copyright 2006 and then
shows images claiming to be from 2007, genius!
And just what the f*ck does stabalise mean anyway?

cr*p. Full of errors, about as accurate as his laughable 'FAQ'
So the entire website is copyright 2005, that's OK I'll only copy the stuff
from 1/1/2006 onwards then?
A drugs raid that was reported by him on 30th February 2007, you sure do
have problems with dates don't you? There is no 30th February 2007, Idiot.

The result of mad (dogs and) Englishmen walking in the midday sun.
Especially Gibraltar's midday sun. :))

The wall on the arm or Rosia bay has certainly taken a battering, but
I guess thats what its there for, and no doubt its been smashed to
bits before and rebuilt. Given the high winds over that weekend
its surprising that satellite dishes have not taken flight as many
were (I believe) poorly mounted.
On pictures, put them on a website and post a link.

You should be thanking me for pointing out your mistakes. Proof reading for

I'd advise you to be very cautious generally - certainly if your
comment reflects your current understanding of copyright.
