    Great shots ... we went up there a few years ago and just happened to hit a cloudless sunny day. Stunning, it was.

    Rain's fun, eh? I'm beginning to think maybe I'll just shoot everything in B&W so it can all blend in!! Is the sun every coming back?

    Cheers!!

    Wonderful shots, Douglas. I think I like the color version more than the b&w. It seems kind of a shame to waste those gorgeous colors.

    I added a BW since my wife didnt like the color as well. She wasnt keen on the brown dirt. Thanks Mike

    Wow! What beauty. The second one is breathtaking. Even my daughter, who doesn't quite understand my obsession with photography and the Nikon Cafe said, "Now that is cool!"
