Nice work Kristine ... I was hoping to get into Sydney to get a few shots off ... but just never got the chance to get in there.

Bramela · 03-31-2009, 12:19 PM

Really nice shots Kristine,, excellent job. Good to see Nifty is moving around rather quickly. Lets keep it moving so the fans on the otherside of the Pacific get their chance as well
