A thing of rare beauty

9 July 2004

80.
The rain held off today, so Liam and I decided that we would take a walk up to Mills Observatory on Balgay Hill. Once there, we learned a little about the solar system and used the balcony telescope to look at Fife. We followed the "Solar System Trail", and took some photos of the native flora and fauna. All in all, a good day out.

This is a stunning photograph; perfectly focused, nicely cropped and the texture of it makes me want to touch the monitor to feel it. Just beautiful.

Nice photo! The statue looks like a girl frozen in ice. I enjoyed the other photos of your day. Thanks

Guest		09-Jul-2004 21:15
Great picture. Love the way the monochrome feel is punctuated with little splashes of red - leaves?

Zak		09-Jul-2004 20:58
nice shot!

Carmen		09-Jul-2004 20:45
Beautiful. I like the tone of this. Good job of cropping it, as well.

Guest		09-Jul-2004 20:40
Beautiful! Such good textures and shadows. (For a second there I thought it was a SP of you with a headache--like when you ride the bus.)

Guest		09-Jul-2004 20:37
Great composition. Cropped just right to get the expression across.
