Me too. Shows the wild and the not so wild. Like the stump too - long time no see.
(The last birds Isaw from a boat were on the mud at Cleethorpes !! :eek:

Hi Major,

For some strange reason I have the feeling the horizon is not horizontal (although is is not true, I measured it and they are equal high on both sides, not counting the bushes).
May be it is the wide angle perspective, I do not know.
By the way , nice picture. :toast:

Tom think it is the coverging lines either side that give that effect. If one bank is at a different angle for instance. Did use a bubble level but when your on a boat who knows.
Its a different one for me but quite liked how the Gulls formed a bit of an arch.
