An ordinary person, father and keen amateur. Just taking pictures I like and if anyone else likes them, that makes me even happier. I have made some great friends here on Flickr and the standard of photography (outside of explore) is amazing really.

If you want to enjoy some of the finest photography on Flickr, you have come to the right photostream. If you want to meet one of the nicest people on Flickr, you have come to the right photostream. During my first year on Flickr, Gary has been one of my most consistent and loyal Flickr friends; always ready with a kind word and a visit. His work is top notch, elegant and refined. He is profound and intuitive and it shows in his work. He has been an inspiration to me and observing his work has made me want to try and excel in my photographic skills. The way he sees and photographs nature is a feast for the eyes. I am very happy to have made his acquaintance and to have him as one of my favorite Flickr friends. Even though we are across "the pond", I feel that Flickr brings us close together through a passion we both share. Thank you Gary. A big hug to you my friend. :-))
