The view from my hot tub on my back deck.:lol: I wish. Created in Vue and Photoshop.

I took this shot from the point known locally as "The Surprise" looking out over Hope Valley in Derbyshire.

Nikon D90, Nikkor 18-105mm VR, Photomatix Pro 2.3, Adobe Photoshop CS5.

I used a public domain NASA image of the Horsehead nebula, removed the noise and errors and optimized the color range and saturation.

Today the sunrise was like this, and it was a good opportunity to test my new 5D Mark II.

This is a shot of one of three white tigers living at my local zoo here in Singapore. They were in the news in November 2008 after they killed a deranged man who jumped into their enclosure. This is a picture of one of the two females. I've visited several times in the past few weeks and she is usually lounging around whenever I stop by-- letting the male pace around and keep watch for intruders. This time, however, she caught sight of me, started growling, and made me quite happy that there was a moat separating us.

A nice, simple wallpaper created with Vue Infinite 7.5. Thanks for your comments and views...

Taken in Norman, Oklahoma with a Canon XSI using the kit lens. The low color saturation reflects loneliness.

Its a horse looking at some lines, basically - oh yeah there are some stars too and some dusty stuff - the horse probably wonders what is going on. Not to worry though, he's going to the glue factory soon anyway.
