    That is a really cool picture! You really take some great photos.

    My cat Simba (who can be seen on my Newtown blog post today.) Says he loves your profile picture. :-)

    Have a great day!

    Beautiful monochrome picture, EG. One thing is for sure though.. I wouldn't want to try to walk on that ladder above that grate... ha

    Hugs,

    I don't know from sluice gates, but I do like this super photo.

    Nice contrast and delightful blacks and whites.

    You've got the first monochrome that I've seen this week. I've heard the word sluice more this year than in my entire life. Interesting texture to this photo. Thanks for the map showing the location of EG! Maybe I should do that too!

    Glad you liked the church in the tobacco field shot!

    I stare at your picture and think it is like a visual phenomenon. Perception rules! Great effect.
