The ultimate Decisive Moment?

Postby Frankenstein on Sun Jul 03, 2005 7:46 pm

I just heard on the news that one of the Twelve Apostles collapsed into a pile of rubble earlier today. Apparently there were witnesses - I wonder if anyone got it on film ... could be a winner!

It's great to see nature making the odd comment now and again. Looking on the bright side. You probably wont have to use such a wide lens. Also, the value of the other remaining (I think 8) should have increased significantly. Also, also, the many photos of the existing apostle will either increase in value or be redundant. Both options are interesting.

What was that apostle's name?

I think that was "lefty"... Unless you're coming in to shore then he may have been "ol' righty" :?
