Just happened upon this site through an ad link. This looks like a great community of photographers, so here I am, eager to learn from other shooters.
I am an amateur photographer (ok, I get paid every once in a while, but I am not a pro and don't aspire to that kind of pressure).
Like you, I love photography and the endless opportunities for creativity and pure beauty it provides. What a wonderful way to open up our lives!
I have attached a few recent pictures just for fun, and look forward to meeting other photographers and sharing ideas.
Thanks for letting me join your group.

Thanks for the picture of Petra Dave.
Brought back memories of many years ago riding down that valley on horses to that exact spot you photographed. They took the horses away then and we walked miles further along the old road.
One of the vendors on the side of the road we met turned out to be from New Zealand!
Some years earlier she had been a tourist, like us, and met a local chap who invited her to stay with him. Illegally she did so, fell in love and some years later she was still there.
She took us to her home (one of the caves on the right, going up the valley) and showed us the very simple life she had adopted.
Fascinating!
When we got home we Googled her and found they had made a documentary film of her life there.
So thanks for the memory jogger.
Enjoy this site. It's very interesting and informative at times.
