Thanks guys for the lovely wishes, it does mean a lot  I am always looking at your images even if I don't comment all the time. I love to see what everyone is doing. Moderating Solarchat these days seems to take a lot of time up

Thanks guys  

x6gas, yes 3 wins (2014, 2017 and 2020) but never the main title, there is always a challenge    I can hope....

I still have a long way to go to match the amazing work of  others  like Christian Viladrich, Alex, Valery, JP etc    but that is what keeps you fighting. However, most of the time it is more satisfying and fun to just stop, sit and enjoy the Sun with your eyeballs and sketching pad, and most of all, showing others.
