Are you sure you aren't on Mars? I dig that photo.

Thanks, Nige. It does look a bit red planet-ish, doesn't it?

wonderful shot. Have a great time in the caravan

Light pollution can have it's benefits.
Lovely shot.
Have a great time in Salop, hope the weather's good to you, you don't want it too hot in a caravan either.
Sans teens is good, we're off away sans teens too in 2-and-a-bit weeks time.

lovely colours and have a wonderful time together!

Sans Teens but with the baby -oops I mean Tim!

Thank you all, Just about to set off now. Going to take a leisurely afternoon drive up to Shrrewsbury.

HL material!!

Nice shot! Gorilla pod, love those, I have one too. Have a nice holiday. :)

Have a good time Tim...And cariadus and TOH of course!

mysteritmo, thanks :)

Caine, they're great, aren't they? Perfect for my little camera and quite an interesting effect having the camera 3 inches above the sand.

Twiglet, thanks :)

They are - one of those useful and really fun camera accessories.

Gooooooorgeous!

Nige's comment is bang on. It reminds me a little of when I used to shoot with film. You could never be quite sure of how the film would react to the light. Here I think something similar has happened with teh red from teh town dominating teh scene which I think creates a really interesting effect.

Wendle, thanks!

taniwha, I remember the days of shooting in Kodachrome on my OM1, having to use Cokin filters to adjust for colour balance - no Photoshopping then! I guess the modern equivalent is adjusting white balance in the camera, but the 'corrected' shots were just boring. I'm sure that if I tried correcting the colour in Photoshop the result would be the same so I just kept with the shot as it came out of the camera.
