"Baby gull back ribs?" :-) Now I've heard of being hungry and "will eat almost anything!" But baby gull ribs? :-) However Sam appears to be enjoying them. It? :-) Yep, man and his cut every tree down and they will grow back is a fallacy perpetuated by logging companies and lumber barons of old. It only works if you replant one for everyone cut! And then some! But when you come to Canada and BC., we'll get you into the Cathedral Forest to photograph trees that were trees when Columbus arrived on the North American continent! To put it mildly.. They are beyond your wildest imagination. Just make sure you have a very wide angle lens with you! :-) ted -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+tedgrant=shaw.ca@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+tedgrant=shaw.ca@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Geoff Hopkinson Sent: Monday, December 29, 2008 12:39 AM To: 'Leica Users Group' Subject: [Leica] IMG: Hoppy goes to USA Episode Three The episode in which the Hoppies go to Sausalito and Muir Woods. In Sausalito I visited a Photo Gallery of work by Richard Lough JR. Stunning wildscapes by an accomplished artist working in Utah and other magnificent areas. There I met an elegant and delightful lady named Olivia. While I was unable to photograph the gallery, Olivia graciously agreed to have her picture taken. You may meet Olivia in the album and she would be pleased to speak with you if you would like to acquire a fine print. Muir Woods is a preserved pocket of gorgeous forest. I felt a sense of tragedy that so little has been preserved. Of course that is the case wherever man has stepped. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/gh/a/usa/b/ Comments welcome Cheers Geoff http://www.pbase.com/hoppyman/e http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/gh/ Pick up your camera and make the best photo you can. _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
