Nice. I like the statue (statues are like models but they never complain - actually, that would make them very much not like models ) and the pumphouse is very nicely done as well.

Gorgeous sunsets though! Both of them are superb. TFS.

Dramatic sunset Angela, how beautiful. Love the Maori statue - the grasses you captured behind are great in this image. And the old pumphouse is so interesting - I just love it when I come across structures like this - definitely my kind of thing to photograph too!
