    I just want to give kudos to Roaddog52 for an excellent capture...this photo reminds me of Wuthering Heights the moors and the smell of heather....it even reminded me of The Sound of Music with Julie Andrews.

    Love your framing capture, the lighting, the color tones are gorgeous, and your capture of the snow mists are great.

    Kudos and Best of Luck to Everyone.

    One day, I started writing, not knowing that I had chained myself for life to a noble but merciless master. When God hands you a gift, he also hands you a whip; and the whip is intended solely for self-flagellation...I'm here alone in my dark madness, all by myself with my deck of cards --- and, of course, the whip God gave me."

    E hem...

    I just deleted 4 posts from this thread. I'm not making another "rule", this is just my own policy (and has always been): there will be no prognosticating and premature congratulations in the voting thread.

    Vote here. Speculate in the feedback thread.

    Mostly harmless, I know, but there are still many non-DSS'ers that come in here and make a vote. They don't need chattering distractions from the "in" crowd.

    Carry on. thanks,

    Thanks for that. Sorry I jumped the gun - I thought about it after I posted it and kinda wondered.

    My apologies if I offended anyone. :cry
