Hello Barbara from Brasil, I am enthralled by your photos - can't pick a favoutite but loved the pelicanpassing by - it was such a powerful and gentle reminder of the Aust we have left. You might like to photograph Brasil; one day - vibrant, noisy, busy and brilliant, a real contrast to your wonderful compositions. Keep it up, I love it!! Mike
