Comments on the technical aspects/quality of photos are... what is the official position of the God of the game on such things? When I saw your name on the board, Eggs, I thought you would beat ILUVetc to it, but some cunning clues got him there.

Sorry - I love the photo. Just couldn't help noticing the tilt. I have a few with much larger angles - not even sure how I took one of them?
My daughter had a habit of taking 45 degree angle photos - she thought it was cool.

Please, please - not "God of the game" - probably "hanger on" would be better.

Is your photo on the SW coast - maybe New Harbour perhaps from the beach?

It looks a bit like the edge of New River Lagoon, near where you look for the very brackish creek to see if you can find some potable water.
medicinal purposes only of course

Yeah, the angle rules out a boat, unless it's a gigun!

the ranges are a great place to be ... bar the 300 days a year when wind, rain, hail, sleet and snow make it a little challenging! Moonlight Ridge isn't bare of veg. for no reason!

Hmmm ... this sounds like us twiddling our thumbs until robl arrives to declare eggs the most accurate (or should that be you ILUVSWTAS?)

It's quite similar to this image I took from next to the Whale sculpture - why did I say floating? :roll: :roll: :roll:

Sure is, it's one of my favourite locations.

I guess that's up to robl, but I do believe that my reply was first. :x

You might have been first but you are wrong :(
Fisher Point is a 40-odd minute walk along the coast from the famous whale.....nice spot.
There is ruins of an old pilots station there.

Sorry ILUVSWTAS, I'm with eggs the grand poobah of this game.....where's Robi, doesn't he/she know some us have nothing better to do with our time? :D
