SoWal Sunburn Snaps

ouch...wonder if it will come off in one big sheet?

...and I see this person is still out in the sun w/o a shirt! :roll:

Looks like a tube top disaster to me.

bet that hurt like a mofo! it looks like she has red hair, red heads should know better.

visitors usually forget how the sun can get you. of course, I know certain family members who come down with full intention of getting burned up every single day. I don't get it. it can ruin your relaxing vacay with much pain and misery. not to mention the long term effects to your skin.

these days, I don't even want a tan. got to find a big hat!

next time my BIL is in town I'll snap a shot of his lobster body, after day 1, and post it. its just a given. oh, and my sis is berry brown when she arrives, but ends up berry red brown.

That pic may be hard to beat! But, it is early in the season!

Let's see your "Interesting Sunburn" shots taken in South Walton.

This photo makes me

My personal opinion of this thread is bad karma accruing to the photographer.

NDY - this particular photographer has nothing but loving kindess oozing out of his little pores. so, no worries there. he just likes to document tourist behavior from time to time. he's very good at it. and it keeps us entertained.

I wanted to take a photo of a student who was actually carrying a fake giraffe bag and a Vera Bradley. I was told that it is illegal to take someone's photo with his/her permission. But it would be weird for a prof to go up to a student and ask, "May I take a photo of your handbags?"

It's almost time for my annual convertible sunburn--those are always a lot of funn. BB (et al) has already posted pictures of that from last year...I'm sure they're around here somewhere. Bright red skin (like everything else) looks great with a metallic green prom dress from 1988.

NotDeadYet, care to share your story of your own interesting sunburn? lol. Better yet, do you have photos of your interesting burn?

FYI-- I also keep an eye out for who has the darkest tan and who is the most baked lobster-red.

Beach goers worry about sharks and alligators, but some tend to forget that the Sun is a big 'ole ball of radiation, which will burn you. The least you should do is avoid the cancer hours, wear protective clothing (though I'd rather see the bikinis), or wear a good sunblock and reapply often.

BR, that must be a new law, because I've not heard of such. I believe you must receive permission if the photo is to be used for commercial gain (not sure), but to simply take a photo of people is not illegal. Think about all the people at Disney World who would be breaking the law if that were the case.

SJ - why didn't you post this one from your gallery? RO?

Sunburn lady may need a trip to the ER or at least a bottle of Benadryl, too. That is scary close to sun poisoning. I will guarantee you she isn't wearing a shirt with a tag in the back this morning.

Kurt, that particular photo belongs in the "interesting swimsuit" thread. I don't think anyone is noticing his interesting tan lines.

Is that why you thought I was objecting?? Sorry to disappoint, have not gotten a serious sunburn since I was a teenager.

Hmmm. Taking pictures of people without their knowledge or permission, and then posting them on the internet for Tootsie's "entertainment" ..........:scratch:
Well, educational it may be, but good karma, I don't think so.

I think something in this thread just died?

its not the first time we've seen an objection to posting of anonymous photos. perfectly okay to not appreciate the idea, message, humor (although there have been no offensive photos posted here - though they may be posted elsewhere, I don't know. well, I do know but I won't say (not SJ's). of course, I would hope a person would either choose not to participate, or state their objection in a respectful way.

I am torn - My objections to posting pics of people online are well known, but I must say that is probably the least objectionable/most anonymous pic one could post - no face, odd positiion etc.

Although the way Sowal is growing and how "small" of a community we really are, I dunno how anonymous it really is if you know her..................and few females like pics of them in a swimsuit posted for the public even w/ their approval. ;-)

For example, I would bet that if it was SJ in that pic, some Sowallers would know it was him (hopefully not in the same ensemble), so anonymous only goes so far.

This makes much more sense and is less judgemental! IMHO
