Some very nice high class snaps there.
This coming from someone who knows nothing about the intricacies of photography. I'm a point and shoot type, maybe one in hundred turns out OK. :untroubled: Thank heavens for digital.

[Ferry_vO]

Thanks guys. It is a beautiful island, with great scenery. We will definitely go back there some day!

Ferry, as you know it's my favourite holiday destination - but I wish I could take photos like these. Magnificent - well done. Glad you enjoyed it !
