Holiday Snaps
Those beautiful images are hardly "holiday snaps" by any standard. Superb photography.
I was about to say the same. Absolutely superb! My favourite is the 4th image of the bench, I love the warm tones and tranquility it evokes.

I think it was the frustration I felt at being surrounded by so many amazing possibilities and being aware of my 'duties' as Dad. The thunderstorm was as we were leaving a restaurant a couple of hundred yards from the campsite. Never tried to catch a lightning strike before and it was fun trying.
I'd also liked to have done the old Brenner Pass road under the modern motorway. Bavaria is the place though. We stayed in Fussen about 2 miles from Neuschwanstein Castle. I'd love to have a go at that in winter.

Big problem was the weather - knocking on 100 every day. No clouds in the sky and almost white with haze. No good for a pale blue Scotsman.
Pleased you picked out the second one. It was a handheld bracketed (5 shot) exposure with the DA18-250 and none of them were particularly fast at around 1/6th (and it was after a couple of nice beers and a 500 mile drive). Really happy with the way it turned out. A nice travel lens that one.
Great work.
Best regards
Would love to see more!!!

.. marvellous.
If they'll take the enlargement, any one of these is good enough to hang on a wall. There's so much great composition in each one that it would take an essay to work through it all.
Thanks for sharing them.
