Action shot Bluelabel

I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete.

Just one more cast love, and I'll be on me way home

Leave nothing but footprints, take nothing but pictures and memories

Proper "apple slice" scales on that one Stu! Lovely colours.

And what a tail, looks like daddy must have had a bit of fantail goldfish in him!

Apple slice scales. Never heard that one before, but it works!
