Hi Ian
very cool right, but honestly i bet most people would find geology boring, which is too bad. its quite interesting to me.
I wouldn't want to be left abandoned here, looks pretty deathly to be stuck here. thanks for these shots and the WS
cheers

Hi Jorge
the image quality may not be the best, but there are a number of things I really like about it. love the tall buildings, love the huge flag, love the heat waves that are distorting the image too, that's really cool. great shot. cheers

Hi Mariusz
i totally understand your delima here, its so frustrating when the bridge is shaking and you need to take a long exposure shot. but in the end look at this final result, very strong.
love the star effects on the white lights, love the contrasting greens and blues. this is awesome. cheers

Hi Pierre
this has to be one of the most unrecognizable churches, it doesn't even remotely look like one. why would they build it in such a way. strange, very strange
cheers

Hi Krzysztof
can you imagine? seriously, can you imagine having to wear this in battle? I can't even think about being told to get in this.
these old exhibits are fascinating. love them all, all the shots you've posted lately. cheers

Hi Gert
great looking photo, and the WS's really help to put it all together. its easy to see why you'd want to post this one, its got your stamp all over it. I like the WS where we can see the entire structure too. but this one is very playful and attractive for various reasons. good one
cheers

Witaj Piotr

Looks like central Italy. I like the fg yellow flowers which contrast so well with the blue sky. Good sharpness and a superb elevated vantage point. Tfs!

Hello Krzysztof

A good angled pov on the displayed uniforms and great to remember the sacrifices and hardships of the war to appreciate the efforts made to liberate Poland and Europe. Tfs!

Hi Lars

It was also well worth going inside Presner Fortified Castle. A good upward pov on the tower and the flowers add a splash of colour. Tfs!

Hello Pavle

A superb array of ripening fruit. Good colour sharpness and graphic layout. Excellent framing and punchy light contrasts. Tfs!

Hello Ike

Looks similar to Waikiki in Honolulu. The same blue sea and tall coconut palms. Good sharpness and the people add scale and animate the scene. Tfs!

Hi Ike

And on the western side of the peninsula too, ideal for viewing sunsets. Tremendous silhouettes of the pier, restaurant and palm trees with pleasant warm colours in the sky and impeccable sharpness. Tfs!

Hi Gert

It's the same story here. Many refugees were incarcerated in detention camps offshore on neighboring islands or imprisoned in detainee hotels in the large cities. Some of them have moved to Canada and the USA, tired of waiting for the slow moving wheels of bureaucracy. Others succumbed to poor medical services or suicide. But at least Sweden has publicly acknowledged that there is a problem, unlike Australia, at least until the recent change of government here. For every bad refugee, I am sure you will find that there are thousands more who did or do fit in well and contribute enormously to society. Australia just appointed it's first two Muslim Ministers in government, ever.

Hi Costantino

Looks like a nice summer resort especially on a hot day with a clear blue sky and a blazing sun. I like the repetition of the palm trees which add a subtropical look. Tfs!

Hi Jean

The fg pale yellow brown sand contrasts well with the grey blue sky and water. Good sharpness and the fg boat is well placed in the frame. Tfs!

Hi Ali

Looks similar to the countryside around Erzurum in east Turkey, once the snow has melted around mid April. Terrific layering with an expansive view of the terrain. Tfs!
