Another departure from my usual images.

After following the news this week, thought I'd go out and take a few images of these wonderful creatures, which a lot of us take for granted, and hope we do not return to the same horrific events of 2001.

Please view large if you have the time.

Thank you for taking time to comment on my previous uploads.

Take care.
Stephen

excellent image.
I also hope we never go back to those days of 2001, we lost all our stock & it was a most horrific experience.

Great capture Stephen, lovely detail and colour.

a moody beast. How much is created 'in situ' by the snap taken originally and much is honed by the computer? If so what software is you using. The tonality is super here.
