Well I did a search on the Borshet Belt Hotels and this did come up, so wondered if this was it.
it really is a shame .. I loved those hotels.. never went to one, but I'm guessing they would have been a great place to take some interesting pictures.

Like the look of the circles and spokes on the railing and the wheels and spokes on the bike.

letter E or the symbol for Epsilon on the side of The Church of our Savior on the Spilled Blood in St. Petersburg Russia. (taken in July09)
(or the white and yellow tiles on the spire roof could be an M.. just a thought.. didn't see it until I posted it)
(or the fish in a tile on the right, as an X... this is pretty cool).

Jeff, I think the guy in the red shirt had just rounded the corner and was suddenly of 2 of "Barbados's finest".. and wasn't very certain what to do.. so it looked like he could do, was just smile.. You have to wonder what was running through his mind at that point.
I love the leaves photo.. beautiful colours..

Thanks for the welcome.. I'm really enjoying getting to know my camera and what I can do with it (and not the other way around).
It is sort of strange photography people. That day I was trying to capture side views and back views of people. One in our group got a good cursing from someone and she wasn't even pointing her camera in their direction. It does feel good when you can get that feeling of emotion out of the way people stand or lean or whatever and it actually comes through in the photo.
Our class was advised to shoot and ask permission later, unless the situation presented itself to ask first. but to try to also put yourself in the picture first before anyone else, as if you have the right to be there, with your camera and those coming along later are the ones intruding, which kind of gives you the right to take their picture. But also to be aware of what is right and wrong when it comes to people pictures.. I look forward to taking more.

I've owned a camera for years, but only recently started taking "better" photographs. these may not be great, but these are people capture during a recent class assignment.. My first entry into capturing people on the street. I also hope I have loaded them properly.. I seem to keep having trouble when I post on boards like this one.

you didn't read what I wrote. I have used regular AA alkaline batteries in my camera for 2 1/2 years.. yes I had to replace them but not like I've had to in the last 2 months. Why would a brand new Alkaline battery go dead in a matter of 2 hours if I never even touched the camera. meaning I put the battery in.. I switched it on to see what the sensor said, it was full.. I switched the camera off.. drove to class.. 2 hours later at the end of class I turned the camera back on to re do something as per the instructor. it worked for all of about 5 min then the batter senor showed empty. how can this possibly be a problem with just the batteries.
This cannot be normal.. I'm currently using brand new rechargeable batteries.. pre-charged.. put them in one time and with in 20 min they are completely depleted.
I'm guessing no one else has had this problem so I'll go elsewhere.

I'm sorry.. according to my information there was nothing I received when I got the camera that said anything about special batteries.. as a matter of fact it shows AA on the battery compartment.
let me try to explain again. I've used regular AA alkaline batteries for the last 2 1/2 years. I've had no problems.. take tons of pictures.. kept the batteries in the camera for days and weeks without shooting anything and the batteries still were good.
in Mid July, while on vacation, I was using my camera, likely more than normal, using regular batteries.. and on a couple of occasions I realized that the batteries would go dead a lot quicker. Upon return, I did some "test" runs with batteries and realized that the problem had gotten worse. One afternoon I put fresh batteries in my camera, let them in for about 4 hours without even taking a shot and when I went to turn the camera on, they were dead..
I've purchased some 2500mah rechargeable and while they are working, they still lose charge very quickly.. I still managed to take 65 shots on Saturday Morning with regular Duracell non-rechargeable batteries.
According to a photographer friend, it sounds like a short in the electrical system. I live in Barbados and it's very hard for me to send this camera to Pentax to get the problem diagnosed and fixed I've only had this camera for 2 1/2 years and honestly don't feel that this should happen on this type of camera.
The reason for writing here, was to see if anyone else had experienced a similar problem... I guess I'm the only "idiot" who used regular batteries in my digital camera, but I somehow doubt that is the problem..
If there is anyone out there on this board who has experienced this type of problem, I would be grateful to hear the solution..
thanks you.

Thanks very much for responding and the assistance..
for 2 1/2 years I've only used Duracell regular AA batteries.. the better kind, but still non-rechargeable. They lasted long each time I used them.. never had problems.. no all of the sudden, problems..
I sort of like the idea that it may be an internal battery issue.. but how do I solve that.?? Send the camera back to Pentax?? or do I find a camera place that can change..it..
I'm going to source some of the enloope batteries, as I've read about them and all sounds good.. (or the hybrids etc..) and used those for a while.
Funny thing happened today.. put in 4 Duracel Precharged 2000mah batteries. didn't turn the camera on to start taking pictures for about 15 min.. When I did, the meter showed half power and with in about 15shots I had no power at all. oh joy.
