    Not quite the photographer that Riv is but here is pretty much the same view as the first pics that I posted. A thunderstorm had just moved out of the area and left this beautiful sunset:

    It really was beautiful, the pics don't do the sunset proper justice.

    They were beautiful pictures, yet i know exactly what you mean. No picture can ever compete with actually witnessing the event itself.

    thats why i started to do slides instead of prints a few years ago. a little more effort, but scenic views, skylines etc. just do look much less disappointing beamed on the wall.

    There certainly is a difference b/t yours and mine...It's not like that's a crappy camera either - it's a Minolta 5.1 Megapixel. People pics usually come out pretty good though.

    just becasue...
    aside the fact that i have a Nikon D40 SLR (with two lenses - 18-55 and 55-200) which by far provides has the best CCD-sensor i´ve ever seen in this price-range/class...

    i hope noone here sees this as a competition for the technically most perfect picture... *cough* ;)

    as i said - your after-the-storm-pics are great. perfect capturing of this special "mood".

    No competition from me, just making "small talk" I wish more and more people would post images of things around them.

    Awesome pics Alex. That gnarly tree branch is fantastic. I love the wild and wierd shapes caused by ocean winds.

    Great scenery even though they don't have Alex in them ;) That tree seems like a body is coming out if it.
