As often as possible

when i worked on ships i could climb and work on a ships mast no problem, get me by a cliff and it better have a heavy guard rail. there must be something in the fish the birds give their young to make them stay put.

In the States there would be rails, fences and signs all in the name of protecting ourselves from ourselves. Legislative will always trumps natural beauty here. Pitty. I long for a people who exhibit enough common sense not to tempt fate, and know enough to call it stupidity and not public neglect when the tragedy happens. I recently went back to Ithaca, NY for the first time in years and found they'd fenced in many/most of the gorges that surround the town since local college kids (Cornell U and Ithaca College) will occasionally use the gorge as a last leap when school doesn't work out so well. So, now the view is gone, money is spent, and kids still manage to climb fences.

Here's to places where common sense prevails, and some lovely photos!!

Now you have told me i can see the beak is a little too short and also the colour difference which i thought was the lighting of the shot lol.

Oh well i cant be perfect all the time lol.

And it doesn't matter what it is they are all lovely shots.
