Now the way the book ends up is this, Tom and me found the money that the robbers hid in the cave, and it made us rich.

  Nice shot and even better story :0) The light really separates the planes of the scene and gives it a 3D feel. Good work.

  Dynamite shot, Damian! The composition you chose really sets the atmosphere and mood and the story line is the icing on the cake. Love it :-)

  Thank you so much Gary. I really appreciate it... I was wandering around this like and spotted this guy off in the distance and snapped a quick shot. I like how it turned out, and it just seemed to go with the intro to Huck Finn!

  WOW - I never expected the response that I've gotten for this shot... and I thought I had nothing to post today :-)

Thank you Ellen (really liked your Gallery - especially the rear view shot) and thank you Heather for all your inspiration!

  Great scene with some atmosphere (Did you take this picture in summer or the beginning of fall?). It’s a pleasure to look at this. Nice photo, Damian!

  Three weeks ago??? Thats unheard of!!?

. This is really awsome Damian. It stopped me in my tracks. The person does it for the picture. He gives it a sense of scale. Looks like a cliff. Very intersting. This is one of the best that I've seen from you! great job.

  Thanks Donna! I really really appreciate it... I just checked the file and I took this on November 17th, so 3 weeks ago is about right. We were having a heat wave at the time and it was in 80's for over a week... I've attached a couple more from the same day...
