Yet another example of the colours that abound: it's not a B&W environment!

Here you can see a couple of my fellow "yellow penguins" (each with a tripod of course!).
At this point it was steadily raining. It didn't stop us taking photos though!


So we had sunny days...

Overall these are the weakest group of images you've shared so far (but you set the bar very high) - that said I really like the subtle tonalities of #3 and suspect it would look great in a larger version where more detail is apparent. PS The pedant in me has to point out it should be part VIII not IIX :lol:

Corrected, thanks. It was after midnight that I posted...

I saw this thread for the first time tonight and then went back to see the other 7 threads in the series. I have pretty much sat here with my mouth hanging open the whole time. Your images are just amazing, showing so much beauty and life and wonder (if that makes sense).

Thank you for sharing these and the stories with them.
