I would love to say great pictures and all, but I am far too annoyed with you to see you got Hawgs in the Mach and I didn't when I went..... :grin: Only joking mate, excellent set of photographs! I can see quite a few that could be classed as "Photo of the week", or even "Photo of the year" :clap:

What camera and lens attachment are you using to get these quite brilliant results may I ask? :heyhey:
