Cool catch

petesie		07-Nov-2006 14:43
I wish I had been there....."Sheila on a ladder" would have been my PaD! This is fantastic, Sheila. I thought so even before I saw the reflections. (Be careful)

AL		07-Nov-2006 14:30
Incredible luminous-like color and double reflection. And "eye"-popping too :-) Great catch and please be careful!
