Stifling hot here in Fl. and I kind of wish I was back in Ottawa braving the bitter cold with Blackburnian, Gary Fairhead and a few others. Took this in March and even though I have others with more action this one is what I had in mind that I wanted to create when I planned my trip.

First image I have ever printed in a large pano and it kinda came out pretty cool.

I feel your pain, BD, since it's the first summer in 10 years I've stayed in Florida. Although, I have to say our temps haven't been bad, but too humid to go outside much. Anyway, next year, back to Colorado and thereabouts.

This is a super shot, and a big poster of it would be a powerful image. Enjoy it.

Excellent capture Mike, I kinda can't wait for winter, easier to find owls hawks and Eagles when there are no leaves and they stick to certain hunting areas.:D

Mike, really nice shot. I hear you about it being too hot, the humidity is brutal right now. I do a lot of watching movies, bowling, or surfing the net, anything inside after 10:00am till dark.

Excellent image here Mike and it must look terrific in print...Beautiful!!

I kind of wish I was back in Ottawa braving the bitter cold with Blackburnian, Gary Fairhead and a few others

:-) Well its cooled down overnight with the rain we have thanks to Gustave but the last few days my central airconditioner got a work out as we had a humidex in the 39 degree Celcius range so you would have felt right at home Mike;)

Take care
