      It is “Heart of Courage” by “Two Steps from Hell”. I am not sure if it was used in films, but it was used in London 2012 Olympic games athletics finals. Thank you for the visit, Stephen 🙂 Much appreciated 🙂

    I like your minimalist approach – I’m like the waterfalls at Plitvička and the gold in the Royal Castle in Warsaw – excessive! And I love the way photography captures absolutely that one moment. (I just wanted to click “like” as I sip wine on a terrace in Dubrovnik, but I didn’t dare!)

      You are in Dubrovnik now? I grew up there. What terrace is that, a hotel one or in a cafe in old town???

        The Magellan. Just opposite where I stayed. What was it like growing up In Dubrovnik? Were you inside the wall? Were you there in 91? I cried when visited the remembrance room and saw all the photos of young men killed.

          It was special. I still think it is the most beautiful town I have ever seen. I moved away in 1985, so I wasn’t there when the war started.

    In a split second I believed it said “Stay away”
    but it’s true if we don’t flap our wings so we get nowhere… 🙂

    Wish you and yours a wonderful weekend… 🙂

    Oh yes! I’ve shot so many swans, ducks and geese that I no longer shoot them unless I can make a picture that I’m most satisfied with. You have created a shot that is certainly one that I would be proud of. Nicely done, Paula!

    Excellent use of the blur.

        We’ve captured your nice weather! But don’t worry- it’ll only be for a day or so then we’ll give it back 🙂
        Doesn’t matter where you play, so long as you’re happy.
