Re: [OM] sunset this evening

[Fernando Gonzalez Gentile]

Thanks, Mike. I always find your advice truly valuable.

The whales season has officially started here, and some whales are said 
to enter Maldonado bay.
Always wondered if it was worth going there during winter ... chances to 
picture a whale are remote, and after watching you pictures I realize a 
whale by itself doesn't make a picture: I'd need those gorgeous 
mountains and a beautiful warm sunset too.

Maybe you can tell me why do you prefer to leave these photographs 
'untagged'.

Great pictures, Mike - maybe because they resemble what I might be able 
to get here.

Fernando.
