I was out on one of my walks again, chugging up this hill. I stopped for a breather and bagged this shot. Admittedly, it was slighty different to this, but Hell, you have to break the rules now and then don’tcha !!

Stop press – This is my favourite of yours yet Richie – To me it looks like i’d expect to find ET and his ship at the end of this path,
The lighting and shadows are just superb and the details of the path are brilliant.
WOW – Break those rules and smash them to pieces if this is the result – that’s what I say!

I really love the effect you do to all your images; they have a nice quality of light and color in them. Their like the paintings of Thomas Kinkade.

Thank you Mui-Ling, you’re not the first to mention Thomas Kinkade, I am not that familiar with his work, but he is obviously well known where you live .. I hope our works are complimentary to each other :))
