Love the sound of the Kookaburra, they always play that in the jungle scenes of movies. None here in Idaho.

Excellent set of shots Stefan. Dark, but it adds to the shots in these. :)

Haha, ya. These guys love the trees. Say, where are you located? I used to attend NAU.

Ya, I thought they might be a bit dark. I may have a go and play around with the brightness again. Thanks for the heads up!
