Sunday drive
Well when one owns a land rover, where's a hat & does a stupid amount of km/hr under the speed limit...... it must be Sunday
So it may just have been a Sunday drive, but we may have been out & about getting the wheels dirty, not just on the highway driving people nuts
The message went out & the Princess "soon to be family" were there, as too, were the Grommet family
The usual meeting point included fuel a quick chat & off we went. Nothing strenuous, just a nice drive with lunch, a rest, a swim, all rolled in with a bout of relaxation to fill in the day The weather came good, I think I even got a little sun burnt on the back of the neck
A couple of spots out the back of whoop whoop had Princess going white knuckle on the steering wheel, even though he was warned of the hole Shame the suns reflection doesn't let you see his face...... it was gold
The Grom's make their way through
The kids played & the adults milled around for an hour or 2
So I grabbed a couple of pics
As we set off, I had the cars line up for a pose
We slipped down to check the favourite spot of mine The boss found this little critter as she was trying to get around Roger
But he was not going anywhere & in fact, he stayed there for the whole time we were there, barely moving at all Even when I was swinging the mighty canon in his face ....... probably asking to be told to back off
I decided a new angle on this photo was in order, so I also decided I would try the new style of HDR I have been trying to learn.
So while I was in the mood for experimenting, I HDR'ed ROGER as well
Grom took a few great pics while I was stretching the legs on ROGER, so hopefully he will be along to add a tale or 3 & a few pics to back his accusation up [oops] [pmsl] [pmsl] [pmsl] [pmsl]
It was a good day out thanks guys & gals, hopefully another one coming soon

Re: Sunday drive
Looking forward to joining you on some of those Sunday drives soon!!!
The best trophies I can hope to acquire as a husband, father, friend or hunter are MEMORIES!
They will travel with me wherever life's path leads...

Re: Sunday drive
Magic photos!
It's the great, big, broad land 'way up yonder,
It's the forests where silence has lease;
It's the beauty that thrills me with wonder,
It's the stillness that fills me with peace.

Re: Sunday drive
Absolutely beautiful spot, matey! Kinda reminds me of home! You have genuine talent as a photographer, Gary, you ought to be proud of those.
Lately, if life were treating me any better, I'd be suspicious of it's motives!
