Lost on a Winter's Trail

Wally...just wait and see...you show us a way with many footsteps..we should follow!!!!

Really fitting picture!
Damn (sorry!), it really sucks!! I really don't know if I should take the effort to start for the third time a photo site...
Biggest problem is losing all the friends. They will scatter to the four winds now I guess...

Hallo Poly ...
I am going to keep trying. But I lament losing the friends, but it seems a continuing pain-to-the-heart (even in 2014 when Google put Pano into that GE/Maps turmoil, many longtime users just quit using Pano and some deleted their accounts) ...
Do not apologize for "Damn"; I am going to try to translate Damn into as many languages as I can, and then publish it. Actually the list of profanities I'm feeling is long and distinguished, and certainly not publishable.
My father used to call photos "immortal celluloid" and perhaps cyber-photos are not immortal ... but I'm going to try to hang onto as many friends as I can ... I will be looking for a place to do that.
Beste Grüße, Wally

Apt title and shot!
I have joined 23hq.
It's nice and friendly and there is already an ipernity group there. But it's small and I think there could be issues of viability. I may only be there for a short time but I don't know. We'll see!!!!
Best wishes, Andy

As you all guys I do not want to loose contacts. After Panoramio almost everybody came here, a good site indeed, and I also though that I could place my luggage definitely. Now, as Poly writes, it's hard to decide where to go. Many of us will finally move to Flickr, a place that I am not sure I would like it. Now, I am on 23HQ just to not loose people but it's a really basic and halting place, without charme. You can leave messages only by captcha, and in the Ipernity group I still can't leave anything because though the captcha it's impossible to go further! Bah! So, it's maybe a lower BaseCamp to stay and wait...

Indeed! I'm trying out 23hq and 500px. I'm already on Google + and hate it - use it mainly for uploading photos to my blogs.

A well trodden path and a nice capture, 23hq looks to be the nearest option to Ip but we live in hope.

To me 23hq looks a bit old-fashioned. And also not a lot opportunities available as on IP and Flickr. And to send first comments on photos is very arduous...

Wonderfull capture for what we are living, I like the photos so speak without ,us say nothing that is a picture the imagination is the purpose, where it teaches us a great and intense way to walk,,I really dont know Ia'm very confused some people said here inFlickr, others said there, we will follow the path always looking forward taking our best possible captures !! Merry and bright, Christmas to you and for everyone! !

Lovely shot....the road down which we all meander searching for a destination....

It looks like a nice road but you can't see where it leads to- that about sums up our situation....Should no white knight materialize for Ipernity, I'll probably be at Flickr. After the way they treated Panoramio, Google definitely is not a option.

Splendid perspective and nice photo, but I believe to catch another sense, another meaning in this image ..... the future (of IP) is uncertain, I know, but a little hope still exists !
The real trouble is that many photographers chose to leave IP before the end instead of remaining here and publishing new photo ....
All the best
Fabio

Hello Fabio ... I lament the loss of another photo-sharing community, if it does happen. I am staying 'til the end (but hopefully IP will not end!) ... Although I have stopped uploading new photos for a while, I stay here to continue to admire and enjoy the photos posted by others.
Best Regards from Downeast Maine, Wally

I am staying till the end too... I also did with Pano... I am again in Flickr now, and the only thing I find wrong with it is, that it doesn´t have a translator. I found a lot of old Pano and IP friends there, you can have the same conversations, You don´t have to look at everybody's photos if you don´t want to. The photos look good there, I love the feedbacks, photos are easy to upload..
AND I love your photo: I don´t see footsteps, just a wonderful way to the future.

I think the consensus is, "Hey diddle diddle straight up the middle." (I, too, am here for the duration and, because I have photography OCD, I keep uploading and uploading...)

Πολύ εντυπωσιακή εικόνα!

at least it's two-directional, so, you are either totally right or totally wrong! :-D

Well we seems to be walking on the spot at the moment Wally but hopefully the direction will then be to a long Ipernity future

Best wishes ... Steve

Beautiful shot this photo! Yes, it gives a lot space as image and as mysterious ways of thinking about those steps of?
Have a nice further weekend!

Peter

Nice shot. Fits my current medical condition as well.

... cold and trampled on?? ... hope you are feeling better ...

IL y a eu du passage ici !

Adjusting to winter in our new home. This strikes a chord.
