There is only one word which describes this image (and my first reaction).....WOW!
My second reaction after viewing the larger version was 'Beautiful' and then when I realised this was a start of a series; I thought 'Oh goodie!'
Can't wait to see the rest of these visual treats if this is any indication of what you've captured to share.
Great job John!
