What a great collection of photos. I just recently "discovered" my passion for photography. I spent 21 years wandering the globe while in the US military and have nary a photo to show for it..but I'm making up for it now. You are truly a gifted photographer,,I shall try to learn from you. Feel free to visit my gallery and offer any advice you feel may help me.
