POTW - 19th Jan 2011

Postby sheepie on Wed Jan 19, 2011 6:45 pm

First, an apology for this being a little late :oops:

As much as I was tempted to choose a pic from this thread: http://www.dslrusers.com/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=40503, especially this one: http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk42/pixforsport/Wee%20Waa%20region/IMG_4734.jpg - I thought that may be a little ummm... self indugent? :nono: all those sheep!

The standout from the last week or so is from Stubbsy - I tried hard not to choose this, as I am sooooo jealous of what you guys were lucky enough to do and see, but I just had to come back to this thread -

Scary thing is I know these pics are by no means the best of the trip - looking forward to more!!!

The pic I have chosen is this one:

Thanks for selecting me. I have to be honest though and say this isn't my best shot from my Antarctic trip. Unfortunately the better images aren't yet ready for me to post them yet :(
