I want to thank all you people who post on this forum. It never ceases to amaze me that ordinary people can take such BEAUTIFUL pix. The M8 and M20 was especially nice.

I can't take any pix myself, since I only have some simple equipment. So perhaps I am easily impressed. But, all the same, I just wanted to say that I find the pix posted in this forum truly amazing.

Cleers,
Joe
