    1. Now, that you mention it I can see several instance of framing within the main frame. Cool 😀

        1. That sounds like a perfect trip. You guys are lucky for being able to take so many days of holiday per year 🙂

          1. We are very fortunate in Canada and particularly late in careers when holiday times have built up over the decades. My part time jobs are flexible so I am extra lucky in that regard.

            1. That’s cool Sue. Plenty to be happy about. We get very few days here, and since it is not easy to get sick leave, I often use my annual leave days (holiday days) to cure my colds or flu or similar. I will be looking forward to your posts from Mexico. 🙂

              1. As I read this Paula it reminds me to be even more grateful than usual for the gift of our sick leave and holiday time here in this country. It does vary company to company but overall we are very fortunate.

  15. This photo is beautifully moody, and does converging lines well too.

    I suspect I’ve said before that this year will be the year of the night shot – northern hemisphere in winter will give many hours to practise! You are an inspiration.
