After a foray into the Natural world, back to what I love doing thats my mono's.

I do however have a colour version which I also like which may see an airing in the future.

This was from (what I thought) was an un-productive trip to Grosmont whey back when with Les Forrester (LesF) and Mike Hart (MikeH).

All comments welcome

Why the Tittle ? you may ask, well the guy has more than a passing resemblance to a certain lead singer of a famous Irish rock band.

Thanks everyone, and yes the larger view is far better (gets even more detail in the print).

Thanks Sarah, but why not just practice - I still have my fair share of duffs.

Ah but can he sing?

Classy shot Nick, and it is of course the reflections in the specs that make this work oh so well.
