I'm sure it's wonderful but I no longer see some photos on this forum!!!! Possibly due to how they're loaded because I can see most.

A fantastic creation, I have never seen anything that comes close to this! I do however hope that you ARE scaling back your work, you deserve some time to fish or do other things that you enjoy. Time waits for know one and we are all getting older! :Hat:

There is raising the bar and there is taking it off the uprights and walking away with it.

In exquisiteness that's off the scale :Scared:
Sorry, couldn't resist that...
Just astonishing, a thing of great beauty and a joy to behold. :Hat:
