Great shots, Doug......the last two stand out to me Cool
 

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

Thanks Chuck, was not happy with the first two myself.

I did not accomplish what I wanted which was to show a bit of the SPB (seaplane base) in the first two shots.... Smiley

Indeed the last two are quite nice, especially the last one.
But the first one is not bad either, honnestly. I think the angle of view is very well chosen. The only problem is the background mountain, which is not looking so nice, but the rest of the picture is nice.
