rural idyll

Sweet mother of god, what have I become? Now I find myself photographing mist and distant mountains (Ruapehu and Ngaurahoe). I need a stiff drink.

[FotoBlah]

Perhaps you only needed the photographic equivalent of a palate cleanser before diving once more into the breach.

[Nicole Campbell]

I was wondering the same thing. Looks great against the black.

[Taffy]

Not sure what's happening to you, but unfortunately, you are quite good at these!

[Walks @ 7]

Mist is a lost misplaced cloud, so don't worry you'll find your way back.

[Graeme Stevens]

@joysabin ...or get drunk trying ;)
@taffy Neither am I...and this is the worse of the ones I took today...
@nicolecampbell I've like it when I look away from it ;)
@fotoblah Perhaps...we live in hope...

[Marnie]

I recommend a couple of double scotches, that cures most things. Rather fetching photo though, I like it.

[Dawn]

A lovely black and white

[Graeme Stevens]

@dawnee Thanks very much :)
@golftragic Thanks awfully - I'll give your recommendation due consideration...by which I mean I shall get completely and utterly trousered and blame it all on you.

[Marnie]

@graemestevens Go right ahead, my shoulders are broad and sloping.
