Hi everyone
This weekend was going to be just for me and 2 of my daughters , so no tripod with us , no fancy stuff , just our cameras and....have fun.
The places we visited were so stunning though that we couldn`t resist snaping one or two , you wouldn`t blame me for that if you were there.
My girls were very impressed to say the least , here`s a few to share with you.
Enjoy the places

Wow, I didn't realize the size of that fall until you pointed out there were people in the shot. When it took me a bit to find them, I knew it was huge. :shock: :D Wow, that's impressive.
Sounds like you had a great time with your girls Dimitri and you certainly took them to a beautiful place.
PS: My only critique is that, if you're going to get your picture taken, loose the sweater around the waist! ;) :lol:

A great series of shots from a great place dimitri. Infact, a photo of mine of those falls remains the most popular shot on my website to this very day!! It really is a lovely place.

Oh Oh,
Hi Dimitri, number 2 and 4 are my favourites.... but... that tourist with the jeans and t-shirt has ruined both your shots :p . I mean, with your normal razor sharp perfectionistic composition.... how could you not have seen him in the viewfinder?
DOH!
Your girls look lovely.... bet the boys are trooping to your door already.
Cuz... who sometimes doesn't see the whole picture :p .

Beautiful shots, Dimitri, but I would guess the real treasure from the weekend was the time with your daughters. Looks like you had a terrific time! :)
