I am so glad that you keep sharing it with us Pauline. The views are stunning and I so enjoy seeing them. All that way up to get the second photograph, but wow it was so worth the effort to get the amazing view. You keep them coming Pauline, because I enjoy seeing your lovely part of the world.

Dave.

Those are all great shots. I love this forum because I get to see parts of the world that I may never get to see. Your second and third shots are amazing.

Holy Canoli....now there is some wonderful landscape. I could have sat and absorbed that view on the second one for hours.

Beautiful country and wonderfully captured. It is truly a treat for us here where the land is just flat uninspiring. Thank you for sharing with us.
