Rolf,

Thanks, man. I envy you living over there!

I will have to chase up Fantasia to see what you're referring to.

I was hoping that the clouds would clear and let me take shots of those mountains illuminated by the full Moon. It wasn't to be.

Somehow the scene reminds me of 'Night on Bald Mountain' from Disney's 1940 Fantasia.
Shane,

Glad you enjoyed this one!

Troy,

Cheers, mate.

Oh, God. The sandflies! I was covered from head to toe -- I had a balaclava on, as well as a beanie and fingertip-less gloves. The little critters /still/ get to you! I could feel them biting my scalp and through the gloves on to my index and middle fingers. They are so annoying!

I was there for a couple of hours, too! 16 minutes I could handle, lol. I had to move around the whole time to try and prevent them from settling.

Don't know how you stood there for 16 mins, though. I took photos from that area and those midges/sandflies were killing me. I had to run back to the car else enough of them could latch on and carry me away!
Chris,

Appreciate it, mate. When are we going shooting? : )
