How cool is that 

Thank you very much for the votes, a very nice surprise !

 

September challenge will be put up later today.

 

Story behind this picture for anyone interested, went to Portugal with a bad back to visit a chiropractor friend in Lisbon.

Was up very early with said bad back, only had D60 + 35mm prime no tripod so pic was handheld.

Had to jump a fence, fell over & sprint to get into position around 5.30am (only to find there was a path there much later !!)

With the most beautiful sunrise after that you couldn't fail to get some nice pictures.

Only ever sold this picture once for 48 cents (not Alamy) picture soon to be taken down now from other site now   

 

Thanks again

Thank you for the kind words, there were certainly some quality photos there. Very well done to all who were selected.

New challenge of `music` now up & running  !!

Congrats Ace!

 

Now do I have an angel with a harp? Singing perhaps?

Music is my #1 blind spot.
