Protect the Untamed

Thank you so much Ellen. I get a little emotional on this topic. And a feature in your group! You know what I think of that. Its been one of my favorites from the very start.

Thank you Steve. I always considering getting a shot favorited by one of my fellow artists an honor. It has even more importance considering the stellar shots you take.

Thank you Kath!

Thank you Jason. Not England, but a close second I think.

Thank you Nancy. Its a subject close to my heart. I hate that its in the politician’s hands.

Thanks Mr. Smith!

Thank you Bela.

Thank you emolena.

Thank you Lois.

Thank you very much. Glad you liked it.

Thank you Olga. Did it surprise you we have some big hills down in these parts?

Thanks a lot Mark.

Thanks Janey. I wish we did much more and these lands always seem to be in danger of the whims of politicians and the vested interest groups. Literally scares me.

Thank you Gethin. You know, it never ceases to amaze me how many good artist you have Down Under. Nice gallery you have.

Thank you. I agree about the HDR. I like the natural look as well.

Ha! I can tell by the Wow that my shot made an impression. Thanks Lisa.

Big D, thank you for letting me know. I don’t think one gets alerted to this and yet its quite a deal really. So much appreciated to the alert. Do you check this area often?

Thank you Matt. Much appreciated.

Thank you Susan. Glad you liked it.

Thanks Luann!

Thanks for such a great comment. Appreciated Angel.

Thank you Crystal. Excellent gallery you have by the way.

Thank you Antanas. Do you have mountains?

Thank you. And you would get the best of both worlds! On the other side of mountain where I took this, just 1/2 mile away, is the view of Los Angeles (if you’d like, take a look at the my shot ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT).

Thank you Eva. Considering the beautiful shots I saw in your gallery that comes as high praise.

Thank you Scott. So sorry for the late reply, but your viewing is always appreciated.

Hey Big D, now that is great news. Thank you. I know how many stellar shots you hosts see, so I will never stop saying what an honor it is to be featured.

Hello and thank you Gary!

Thank you very much!

Only 25 exclams. And here I thought you would like it. LOL. Seriously, thank you for such a nice comment. Appreciated.

Thank you Rebecca!

Thank you. I am glad I am taking shots when techniques such as HDR exist. In my book HDR and other techniques make the shot look more like the actual physical subject looked like than earlier when only film existed. I guess you could tell that my words with the picture were heart-felt. I am glad you agree.

Thank you Charlotte. Appreciated.

Thank you and you are very welcome. Don’t feel bad. I actually did not know this existed myself until I decided to take a jaunt up to Mt. Wilson, which looks over Pasadena.

That is right Clark. Its not always like this as you know. Thanks.

Thanks mate. Great gallery you have.

Hello Joanne. Thank you.

Thank you Jan. I know it can be handled. We just need to get so much vested interest out of the way.

Thank you very much. The words just flowed when I reviewed the shot. They are heart-felt.

Thank you very much. A nice find next to a metropolis.

Thanks a lot Tim.

Hello Gili. Thank you so much. I see you have been in L.A. If you have not been in the Angeles Crest Forest, try to go there next time you are in my neck of the woods.

Thank you George.

Thank you very much.

Thank you A.M. I knew you would.

Thank you. See the two sides together REALLY leaves an impression doesn’t it?

Thank you Mischa. Appreciated.

Thank you Mary. I really appreciate you alerting me to that. I asked Marjorie to remove it. I don’t want to put words on this one. And thank you for the comment as well.

You commented on this shot about 10 years ago and I missed it! Sorry and thanks!—Steve

Hello Ann. Thanks for the nice comment and thanks for letting me know on this. I put in the state as well.—Steve

That is such great news to be featured. Thank you.—Steve

Thank you Tamara!—Steve
