Cheers Mike,

Pentax make many a fine lens. The older 50mm is the best I've seen of it's type. There's more to life than Canon and Nikon eh ?

Nice image but you really should have gone back to bed and not be up until near 4.00 am !

Have decided just to keep this one thread for NLC's during summer season 2013.

Anyway here is another NLC display from 30th into 31st May...

This is a 17 pane mosaic of NLC's in this early morning scene from Kelso Golf... & Horse Racing Course, radiation fog shrouds the ground detail between the trees into the distance.
