Great Set Keenlearner! Is that Your Camper and car? Very cute!
The sail boat, windsurffer and the F-18 hornet are all very well composed and presented.
Thanks for sharing these
Michael.

Thankyou for your kind comments Michael. Indeed it is our wee camper and car, and we have had many happy holiday breaks with it. We did have a much bigger English van, with built in bathroom etc but we find the little one ample for our needs now. It's great fun !!!

Yes it's a great little trailer Fred, and we have had awesome fun with it. Just what is needed for the occasional break away.

What a wonderful selection of pictures, and a wonderful selection locations. Far away places with strange sounding names. I 'm particularly drawn to the third picture for its clean water and distant horizons, you could relax on that shoreline.
