Nevertheless, looking for something unusual, you cannot but admire the sepia view of Okefenokee Swamp. I live near the Everglades where world famous photographer Clyde Butcher captures the area in classic black and white. http://www.clydebutcher.com/online-gallery.cfm My vote is for No. 1 too. -------------------- .

Nomad Group: Members Posts: 151 Joined: 7-March 08 From: Mexico Member No.: 151427	N° 1- is excellent...but my vote goes to N° 2: Sunset & Moonrise. As for N° 3, not good! (as far as foto...action is OK) N° 4 is an excellent spot, but very badly photografed. N° 5, we pilots don't like this type of hazzard...[/font][/color][/size] -------------------- ...see you later, alligator !

I liked the moodiness of the fog/mist - it always lets me conjure up images of things lurking out of sight! What that says about my psyche I don't know! -------------------- Cheers and all the best, Honor My Webpage
