Thank you so much, your kind words have lifted my spirits (it's been a rough day)!! Thank you!

Cliff is one of my climbing buddies, I'm also a climber. But, I was inspired to hang out one day on the side lines shooting, unfortunately it began raining not far into the day. So, we had to call it rather early. I look forward to getting some new shots of climbing in the next few weeks.

I do not have a "fear" of heights, rather a healthy respect of them... and gravity! :o)

Thank you again.. your comments mean a lot! #2967476

Hey Lani! We have a say: Better later then never :D
Finally I got back on BP today and I visited your gallery. Very beautiful works there! This is my favorite, for the feeling of height and adrenalyne (?) that it gives, and for the dificulty of taking the shot. Congratulation!!!
And thanks for your comments on my photo, too. Dan #4568287
