Not able to sleep I've been fiddling with a couple of piccies I took the other day and ended up with the following stitched panorama. This is a view over one of the flashes. The flashes were created as areas where lime waste from the chemical industry was dumped. Now after reclamation they provide a lime rich habitat for plants and birds.

As usual click on the image for the full size, and yes it is 6000px wide.

When I woke up this morning and looked out onto a grey wet world, I didn't think I was going to be able to go out for a walk and play with the new DSLR. By noon the weather had cleared and the sun had come out. Therefore I decided that it was worth the risk, and went out to the nature park that borders the town.

On the way there I had to stop and fuzzle a little black cat who promptly covered my top in mucky paw prints. :)

I didn't take as many pictures as I would have liked as I've only a 128MB card in the camera at present. I do have a couple of 8GB SanDisk ones on order which I should have by the end of the week.

Even being a little restricted, I was able to experiment a bit. and took enough pictures to get a feel for the camera. The best 16 of which I've bunged on flickr.

As I was sitting in Costa the rain returned, and I got soaking wet on the way home. Oh, well, at least it happened at the end, and so, I am now on the comfy sofa in my nighty having lobbed my soggy and slightly muddy clothes straight in the washer.

Alice.
