      The last one of volume I was a real Tandem Surfer. The same B&W witch I caught in the act. must have materialized on the other side of the pond.

      And thus all good things must come to an end. The call came in late last night from the Institute. Project: Sky Glyph is go and the good Doctor has intimated that he is urgently in need of my services. I am unsure how long I will be engaged on this little adventure of ours but I can promise you that I will return to the shores of this forum, whether it is in a few weeks, a few months or even years to share some more images. I must thank ‘H’ for inviting me back and to all of you for making me so welcome and for putting up with and joining in my humour and shenanigans.

      Until then dear friends, dear hearts, I wish you a fond farewell and now I must take my leave…..

      And for some reason I did not know whether you were pulling our legs with your announcement some weeks ago, Alec. Well so be it, but the doctor must have a damn good reason to pull you out of our shared project, all be it for maybe a limited time. For some reason I advise you to watch out better next time before signing a contract without reading the fine print defining the legal engagement with the unscrupulous scientist we learned some things about. Yet we know far too little about this mythical researcher and I watch out for new stories the new project will yield. I suppose the Doctor knows very well who to call for, for your track record on the subject of sky symbols must be unmatched.

      Many thanks for giving the forum a push with your daily production of wit, advise and pictures. I enjoyed your contributions very much.

      I will watch out for the moment you reenter da house. In the meantime the grinding will go on elsewhere on this planet. All sorts of fun and luck with your new project!

      Kind of blue. It wasn’t quite like this when seen with the naked eye. The camera did something, though no intentionally. (Not that it would be wrong.)

      There is a little person in one of the blue holes walking or dancing. Can you see it?

      Beautiful capture of iridescence, Hans, especially with contrast of flock in flight. On this side of the pond, the sky was of a more common color, and looked as if it were seasoned with flakes of black pepper.

      Ah, some seasoning tastes well Keelin, but you shouldn’t burn the eggs Michael.

      here is some Mihoen with it.

      Yes, mihoen. Funny that you had to look it up. Its seems so familiar over here.

      Seeing Overrun I can’t resist to post Washed Away, now in color.

      Overrun and Washed Away are both fantastic shots, Michael and Hans! They remind me of the childhood fun of riding through a carwash with wild suds and water flowing in all directions.

      Nice carwash view Keelin. And after the carwash the sun reappears.

      Blowout

      I love the feel of this Blowout Michael. It must be coincidence but it shares the same feel of the picture Keelin just posted in the Cloudscape Thread with the title Cloud Island. Coming at number 100 your Blowout must be meant to be the last of this Volume II. It can’t be better.
