Hi,

A quick fleeting visit, and will comment more when I return on Tuesday, am posting on a dial up connection as my broadband is giving loads of hassle :frown:

Here is one from earlier today, decided I needed a change from the Sheppey Hares...

All the best

A really excellent shot there Phil, I bet the full rez is quite something judging by this resized version.
