Bank Holiday SP

Friday 25th March 2005 - Day 97

Good Friday

I love long bank holiday weekends.... time spent catching up on all those things that you've put off for a while... like errr

Oiling the garden furniture - Teak Oil has a somewhat strange perfume :)
Falling asleep with Ben Hur or the Great Escape on... with resulting sore neck
Dodging the bad weather - actually, it hasnt been that bad today

I had this idea for an SP for a while, but today was the first day when it has been warm enough and with enough blue sky to try. And I know my hair is a mess :) Well its a day of rest... or something.

Here's some I prepared earlier

Nikon D70 ,Nikkor 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5G ED-IF AF-S DX Zoom
1/500s f/8.0 at 62.0mm iso200 with Flash hide exif

Terrific POV! Bank holiday? Why don't you call it a Good Friday holiday?

Great angle and perspective. One of the best. My vote.

Darn I just got the red x but still see the thumb here so will comment on that :>) Now where are my glasses...., oh well, never mind, I'm sure it's a great, SP LOL !!
Seriously, a very nice study & your hair looks just fine, Lee.

You're King of the World!!!! I like the POV, it's very dramatic.
Guest 25-Mar-2005 21:53
Nice perspective ... you do look sort of 'sailor-ish' ... hope you got to do some fun things on your holiday, as well as all the stuff you have been putting off ... :)
Guest 25-Mar-2005 21:14
Wow....I really like this SP,Lee. Excellent perspective. I really like how your shirt matches the cloud on top of you. You look like a million bucks here. Ya look like you're gong sailing. Ya look rich!!

I really love the perspective from which you took this image. I like how the blue sky with the white clouds hover over you and you hair do not look like a mess. Very handsome looking man, that one, in the picture.

Well you had bluer sky than we did oop North. Oh and don't go eating too many of those Hot Cross Buns!
Guest 25-Mar-2005 20:00
Nice shot. It kinda seemed like you're wearing a white hat! hehe

Gorgeous and that beard looks like a Viking though I know you're not. Enjoy the holiday.
