And a naturally formed "statue" - said to be the leader of the Fookawi Indian tribe.

Apparently, he lead his people into the desert and when he got to that point, he looked out over his new land and declared "We're the  Fookawi"

Mont St Michel, just off the northern coast of France.

Some nice shots there Millietant. I'm always in two minds about use of filters, photoshop effects etc when it comes to natural landscapes. I think the best ones are just unadulterated, if you have the right conditions, and the camera remains true to it. All mine are just as the camera took them, although there are instances when a little modification wouldn't go amiss.


I think I need more clarity in my pics more than anything; a camera that gives a more sharply defined result. Perhaps it could be achieved with photo software, but having a better quality camera seems the best way to start, as I really didn't think I'd get so into it when I bought mine, believing I just wanted one for happy snaps.

My wife's camera is a Nikon D80 - it was a present a few years ago from a family member about 6 years ago - I think it's a pretty good one (she said at the time that she'd never that much on a camera herself)


Liz has learned about the settings, but she says all of her best pictures have been taken on full auto settings.

Did an exercise on Otterburn ranges with 230 sqn (Puma helicopters). We were lucky with the weather, warm and sunny for the 2 weeks we were there. The cabs were taking pongos out among the moors to play soldiers, and we sat in deck chairs on the makeshift helicopter landing strip drinking cold cans of Coke as they came slogging back in at the end - should've joined the Air Force!  :lol

Iv done a fair few weeks in Otterburn and iv not seen to much sun in my time. Lol plenty of rain and snow !!

Last year here on the Costa Blanca we had what is known as Red Rain. Basically the winds from North Africa whip up a sand storm and carry the sand high in the atmosphere. If you are unlucky which in our region we were it pissed down with rain. The result is just a bloody mess. As you can imagine a lot of the villas are painted white, they jus look as if they are covered in Rust streaks, worse still is if your swimming pool has no cover it is a bastard to clean. I had to dump 6.5 tonne of water before it was fit for swimming in again. Consider this though that most villas have there own pool that is an aweful lot of water being pumped to waste. Spain being a dry country an all that.
Another effect is that the sand is that fine the roads become skating rinks ever after they dry out, the grains of sand just sit in the tarmac surface meaning a reduced amount of grip. I nearly came a cropper when I lost the front end on my FZ6. I was lucky as I picked her up and thankfully nothing was coming the other way, squeaky bum time that was.
