Great capture Oscar. Looks a little hazy and saturated on my office screen though.

Better than any bittern shot I have got, Oscar, but I do think this is not as strong as some others you have posted. I do, however, like the low angle.

I think it is a phenomenon known as "August", which happens most years. I am away a lot at the moment, and only looking at the site intermittently, and I suspect many others are doing the same.

Yes I think David is correct. I only have a quick look now and again while grabbing lunch in the office. If I am not working and its daylight I am out at dawn and dusk with the camera. If it is dark I am sleeping

Another nice one in the series Oscar. Don't worry about comments -it means they can't find anything wrong

a tad saturated but I like the angle.
