It's possible this has been posted before, but they still looked fresh to me when friend pointed them out.

Hi Sandeha.  I think they have been posted on here before but they definitely warrant a repeat performance as they are breath-taking.  Thanks for flagging them up - cheered me up, no end.

I had never seen them, thanks!

It would be cool to go back to some of those places and see how much they have changed.

Love the lighting  too.

So good... They should be posted at least every couple months

Too true. If I'd taken this I'd happily hang my camera up and never shoot again.

Whoah! Astonishing work. I'd not seen the photos either, so thanks very much for re-posting. That's my weekend made.

Exactly my thoughts. What an outstanding photographer. Never heard of him before. Thanks a lot for sharing, Sandeha.

Agreed. Phenomenal photograph.
