[h0ughy]

Very good Houghy, some of those shots looks like the back of someones head.

You're becoming a bit of a moon specialist by the look of it h0ughy :thumbsup: Love the distorted ones of the moon coming up over the horizon

[h0ughy]

maybe, but I loved the blood red colour when it rose up out of the "sea" :D Not long now, 8 sleeps!

Excellent shots there, I love the atmospheric distortion of the moon too :)

Dont mind Kearn...He's in a league all his own! lol If I ever wanna know a big word such as etruscan...I alway's ask him! not anyone else! He's my hero! :)

[fringe_dweller]

inferior just means the mirage affects the area below the object/subject.
an etruscan vase just means it is shaped like the famous vase of antiquity - see second link

Houghy,

It's good to see someone being a lil more artistic with their imaging. Actually when I was in Japan on a stop over at sunset. that was the colour of the sun sitting on the horizon... as the ground crew stand in line and wave good bye... it's true they do!!!

regards

[h0ughy]

did they wave to you too! :rofl:
