    I like this series, Dave, very mysterious, enigmatic words and lovely images. This image may be my favourite so far.

    Oh, you like this one? Cool. I worked on it for such a long time today that I reached a point where I could no longer tell whether it was any good or not.

    This is one of my favourites – words and image.
    Love the way the shadows fall across the
    circular patterns.

    It really is an amazing pattern – like an Aztec sun or shield. Nice choice for the poetry.

    Really? I thought it was a snow version of a crop circle! ;-)
