PotW 13.06.06

Postby Glen on Tue Jun 13, 2006 12:56 pm

This weeks Picture of the Week is by Lost Dingo (Paul). Reflecting the season, with a very wintery feel, is a beautiful shot of an ocean pool. I actually prefer an earlier shot taken by Paul in the same spot. It is linked to in the same thread. It is worth having a look at Paul's work if you haven't already, he has recently displayed some beautiful shots of seascapes and sunrises.

Congratulations Paul.
