Simply Lovely!
Hi Laurence. Thanks for the kind comment. Unfortunately, Nessie has remained rather elusive to date – think the above is a younger relative…
Anne, a very nice photo indeed, and a good way of looking at a Sundog. You clearly have a seeing and observant eye!
Would you per-chance, have captured the fabled “Loch Ness Monster?!!?
Laurence
Thanks Anthony – it was just begging to be snapped! The colours in the reflection were actually stronger than in the sky.
What an original way to photograph a sundog, Anne.
– you have turned it into a piece of abstract art!
