Fabulous shots all, Peteski, I haven't looked at all your pictures on flickr yet, but they are amazing. I particularly liked the selective colour shot of the trains, but they they are all great. Well done mate.

Thank you Smile

My wife said that she has noticed a significant difference in my photos since she sent me the LSP 2day course.

I'm thinking of doing another one now, just have to get some overtime in!

I'm going to say it because the incongruity gets me every time. As a domestic end user I get energy issues thrown at me from every side, recently British Gas sent me 4 low energy bulbs, cheers for that.

I was in Penarth a while back overlooking Cardiff and just scratching my head at the sheer energy use just keeping that one city alight required. Now call me cynical, but I am betting the lights on the Freedom Towers aren't low energy bulbs and using high energy beams to signify freedom seems to me to be a contradiction in terms. And that is not to mention all the other blazing lights.

Of course I can't do the maths, but it seems to me that if 'the system' sees energy as an issue, the system might pay a little more attention to the issue, comparing my little low energy bulbs with 'all that', is not good for my scalp.

I run an eco forum and so therefore shouldn't like the lights on the Freedom Towers either, but I do love the photo :D
