Lyn, think that the 'old' V550 was far ahead of its time as your images captured with it are nowadays are still perfect. Wonderful image. Regards, Cornelius

Look at that teeny town and that humongous mountain. What a shot of contrasts in size and distance. You did a fabulous job on this one, Eve.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes

After reading Owd Bob's comment about bleating and honking I think junglegeorge needs to add another to his file. A Shoose or Geep. Sheep (bleating) Goose (honking). I'm glad you found this in your files. I like being above the clouds if I'm in something substantial. What a view. I get to enjoy it and keep both feet on the ground. Nice post. Lyn
