Very well seen. I really like the idea behind this image. Many elements that fit there perfectly. Type of image that "grows" more you look at it.

SO dave, you didn't go inside and take any flower shots? And why aren't there any birds of butterflies flying around under those pyramids. They sure make for an interesting landscape. I used to have one of those pyramids on top of my fridge to sharpen my razor blades. That looks like the top of my fridge, only bigger.

Cool shot, indeed. Now I do feel enlightened, because the shape of the pyramid turns out to be about the same as the shape of the top of my head.

haah thanks Norm . Not this time, I have gone in before but I did not have my macro lens with me - I'll get there at least once a year - save that for a really cold day.
