Wow 
That is a thing of beauty
That is a thing of beauty
I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete.

Re: a new float tube
that gudgeon looks almost like a 3D effect... the shadow makes it pop off the tube....
Just one more cast love, and I'll be on me way home

Re: a new float tube
That's it...it's the little details that make things just work....the first thing I saw was the way the gudgeon was sort of three dimensional....and it's just the shadow that does that, but not so easy to add to an image.
Nice gudgeon pic that...I like gudgeon. Hold them up to the Sun and it's like armour plated jewels....
