Very nice Henry, especially the school pals :)

Here is one from last summer. A tough looking Scottish character I came across.

One of the hardy Ewes put out to graze the Machair lined shore at Luskentyre on the Isle of Harris. I don't know if it is the horned head, or the alien iris slits, but I think sheep have a spooky look up close like this :-)

Henry, great pictures of the kids.

Andy, excellent detail in this shot and I agree with you about the spooky look. Goats are the same and I've always thought it was because of the irises.

Cool goat!

Speaking of creepy goats, remember the great Rolling Stones album Goats Head Soup from 1973? :) Bought it when it came out.

That's a fabulous album cover, Henry! I like the Stones but I don't know that album - I'll have to check it out.

I like the movement you have shown in the picture, Henry. It emphasises the hustle and bustle of a market.

Been a while.
Took a trip to northern Michigan. The bridge shown is the Mackinac. It connects southern Michigan to the Upper Peninsula.
A lucky shot indeed.

Nice Shot, JB. The curve at the end with towers punctuates the scene.

Fabulous picture, JB. Love the lead in of the bridge and the waving figures. Works really well in B&W.
