Thanks, Moose. I enjoyed the tour, but the shots of the beach and breakers,
such as 2524, are rather atmospheric. I used to live in hot countries, near
the sea (Bahrain, Mukalla and Aden come to mind) and it reminds me of a happy
childhood.
As is sometimes the case when I look at your images I still think that some are
a tiny bit over-sharpened: the lovely stump in 2545, perhaps, and the
heather-covered moors. But it occurs to me now that that could be the way your
camera produces images and to which I am not accustomed. I can see that the
coyote and deer were difficult to capture except with a long lens
Finally, the birds on the wires are excellent, but my absolute favourite is
2613, the avenue of trees and house at sunset.
