for about an hour this morning i had this whole mountain to myself.
i went up there to get some pics of the sunrise but there was also a huge crowd of ravens flying around. they make the coolest squawking & popping noises.
+ all i could hear (at that time anyway) was the sound of their wings flapping & roosters crowing way down in the valley below. :approve: :biggrin:

I've never scrolled this far to reply to a post, but I think it was worth it. :biggrin:

Great photos! You should definitely post that when Zz holds the "Rise and Shine" monthly photo contest! :biggrin:
 
Very beautiful. I thought something was broken when I hit reply and didn't see the box
 
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing. What pretty bunnies. Were they really gray or is that just the morning light ?

If you mean to the right - yeah.

I didn't realize the second and third pics were panoramas until I tried to find the quote button. WOW!

Astro, haven't you learned by now that obscure trivia doesn't make for a good joke with any but the obscure trivialist?

Nice view in both pictures.

In the second one, my first impression was - block, stud bolts, :rolleyes:, OK :smile: Then I panned across. :rolleyes:
JK - Nice pictures fourier. I like the big outdoors. :-p

Nice picture - worth the time it took for download...I've never seen such a huge pic in my life!

Ok, I'm really trying to figure out where these pictures are taken from.

It's obviously south Vancouver Island, but where exactly I'm not sure.
