Here is one of my favourites taken by Alan Thompson: Roseberry Topping in Yorkshire. Has some significance for me in that James Cook climbed this as a boy, then went on to greater and better things (i.e Australia!!!)

Great choice, Phil.  This is one of my favorite photos on the whole site.  And I didn't know that about Capt. Cook?  Wasn't he from Whitby?

Ha!

I have a little card in my wallet that identifies me as a Resident Alien, so you may very well be right, Rob.


LOL, Sue!  Is that you're green card?

Yes, that's what it is Ruth, though it's not actually green.

I thought so - we had a discussion about green cards a while back.  I'm so sorry about your Dad's passing, Sue and I'm glad you're now back safe and well.  Is the Ireland trip still on?

Nice shot, Ruth. I love that you did it in black and white; and of course, the subject matter most appeals to me!
