    It’s those strange friends that keep you motivated and creative. I know mine do, although I am more like their strange friend.

    I always liked this photo, it’s colourful and wow, Impressive work.

    p.s I think it’s the same part of Lake Gardiner I went to, where I went was near St Ives. A small town that is basically just a petrol station.

  • AndyGii

    AndyGii

    That’s the one Mt Ives is actually a working sheep station and thearea where you stay is so they can take advantage of the tourist trade. Rest assured my friends maybe strange Most of them say I’m crazy I prefer eccentric

    How incredible, (and amusing).
    As far as your friends are concerned, they say like minds attract you know Andy, and after seeing this, I must concur. :-))

  • AndyGii replied

    Never claimed sanity. Does a sane person run around on a salt lake wearing an overcoat with temps around 35c. But it is so much fun

  • Glitter

    Glitter
