Wonderful photographs and beautiful fractals. I enjoyed my journey through your site. Thanks for posting this in the UF list.
Incredible photography. Many WOWs came out of my mouth while looking.
I also liked your Europe section a lot. It’s not just excellent technique but you expressed the atmosphere of Europe.
Thank you, I really enjoyed it.
