All the series is beautiful, but you finish with the best (for me). Great composition, splendid colors (with the line of the shadow coming up) and very sharp.

@JJ: Thanks JJ. This is one of those places where the pictures never quite look as good as being there. The tribal police made us leave at sundown.

Very impressive, PD! Looks like an interest in photography runs in the family (I've been checking out Josh's work since I began here on Am3 ... he and I share a common vocation). Merry Christmas to you and yours!
