a view to a window

I'm telling you, this place was incredible to photograph.... made me fall to my knees and weep in gratitude (well, in my mind I did LOL).

You can view my gallery of images and calendar for sale at: cute but stupid . I'm slowly adding more to the site and if there is something in my portfolio you would like to purchase but is not available on my site just contact me and I'll make it available.

I appreciate all visits and comments and thank you always... ;-)

The stark angles and monochromatic colours add to the desolate and otherworldliness of the location, the sort of place would have had the same effect on me as it did on you. Another superb shot in the series.

I totally relate...It's splendid, this collection of yours took my breath away, so mesmerizing are they! Now change your site name, would you? Nobody stupid would manage to captivate such incredible angles!

@Lorraine: Oh Lorraine you are so sweet to say that! I do appreciate it very much. Think of my blog name in terms of my sense of humour and need to be somewhat self-deprecating or else my know-it-all-ism really comes out to annoy and irritate!! LOL All I can say is a heartfelt thank you.

Gary from United States

How fortunate you were able to go there and bring back so many wonderful images. How fortunate we got to see them.

How long did you stand out in the cold to get in the perfect spot? Geeze, that is good.

27 Nov 2007 12:50am

@MontereyJohn: It wasn't that cold John... hmm, probably around 8C. There was a Chinook blowing in. Everywhere you looked was the perfect spot!! I'm telling you, this place is a photographer's wet dream. (yes, I did say that... sorry Mom if you're reading this) LOL!
