  6. "Which way should we go? I'm thinking up this way."

    "No, no, I think we should head down here!"

    "I don't know... I think this way is the better path."

    "Suit yourself. I'm going this direction."

  8. In the natural scheme, when compared to the rocky hills, the stones in question are small and seemingly insignificant. Yet the small rocks leave a much larger and significant shadow. In the right context, small can be more powerful...

  15. You must have been up at the crack of dawn to get such long shadows - or was it late in the afternoon? Either way, well done - it's a great shot.

  16. The shadows cast by the stones seem like an ancient gateway to somewhere! This is enhanced by the rugged ground! Beautiful atmosphere!

  17. You know, there's a definite consonance again here between your shot and Generik's. It's almost like he's stalking you!

    I will have to start watching the ground a little closer from now on.
