    Default Golden light shines on Morkel

    Congratulation Morkel, seems your last trip was more than fruitful in nailing images

    Congrats Morkel
    Fine images and article
    One question, if I may -- is it good to be called a snapper by the press?

    Excellent work, Morkel. The images are outstanding! Congratulations for shining a bright light on the very real threat of exploitation to yet another world heritage treasure.

    Thanks Steve for flagging this up!
    And thanks to everyone for the kind words.
    I was especially glad that they mentioned the threat to the area, as I specifically requested that...

    Thanks guys and gals...

    Artie - yes indeed, though I posted a different frame, he stood up twice in this spot. The one in the article is the 2nd "rise" when he was further forward. The one I posted here is the "first rise". See here:

    I also posted it in the member&mod showcase here:
