Thanks Martin. I would have been waiting a while, though. The truck was parked for the day.

Thanks Ivar.

Like this photo because it is a photo not because I am there. Near us as kids there was a strawberry farm where all youngsters went in the holidays to pick Strawberries. The more you picked the more you earn. Twenty tubs to a tray and hopefully by the days end 20 trays. Hands and knees in oilskins and often raining. We all soon got to dislike strawberries and even know only like the wild kind with intense flavour.
McMerrill is doing you proud Brian.

Oh, I spent five years or more of my life picking berries in the summer holidays. back-breaking stuff. Up at 5am. Ugh. You've brought it all back!

Fine shot, though, Brian. Almost a political comment on the industrialisation of nature: how beautiful nature is, yet how ugly our tracks are.

I like this too, and I like Rob's interpretation as well. Also the nice division of colours.

When I saw the title (and before I saw the image), the phrase, "Bull in a China Shop" came to mind. Seems even more appropriate now.

Sorry to evoke bad memories, Julian. Thanks for the comments, though.

Sorry to evoke your bad memories, too, Rob. And yes,...the scars we leave on the landscape are in abundance here. Thanks, Rob.

Thanks, Pete. Yes, bull in a china shop works for this.

I love the composition and the perspective of the tracks in the foreground, Brian. The image below the horizon is pretty much perfectly exposed/processed. I would personally like the sky to be pulled down a stop or so, but it is a compelling composition and I rather like Rob's interpretation.

Thanks a lot Keith. Much appreciated. (I think you're right about the sky.)
