Probably not as exiting as the buffet car though. Nice pitures. Oh, if I’d known you were so near you could have called in for a cuppa. Probably not as exiting as the buffet car though.

The sky in the second has been doctored, when I adjusted the contrast and brightness the real blue sky and fluffy clouds were washed out so the ones you can see are fake, but very close to the real clouds - I think it is just Howarth which looks a bit otherworldly.

Weird seeing pics on here of somewhere we go too :-D 2nd pic looks just like Howarth to me, although it could be said that the place has a certain element of otherworldliness about it anyway.

The only thing I would say about the 7900 is seems to suffer really bad barrell distortion, the first and second look almost fish-eye the straight lines bend so much ;-) Did you something to the sky in PS6 for the 2nd one, it looks slightly unreal.

It was great fun. If you can, go see for yourself! I would add that as far as the pics are concerned, I will only claim credit for choosing brilliantly when I bought a Nikon Coolpix 7900, which is IMHO the ultimate in point and click - great quality results for no effort. (Photoshop 6 helps too :-) ) Thanks for the lovely, flattering comment.
