So... until you are sick of it: Had to get out yesterday to find peace, serenity, happiness and... rocks!
Light was different and lots of beautiful cloud structures. So even though I wanted this to be just a quick "in and out" in the morning as thunderstorms and heavy rain was "promised" around noon, I stayed for hours and enjoyed the fantastic weather.
Hope some of you can also find some enjoyment in those pictures.

Gabriel, these pictures are amazing!! Several of them deserve to be framed. Especially the third one of the trees framing the water...I could easily see that as a large poster sized print hanging on a wall!!

I never get tired of looking at beautiful pictures! I love that 3rd photo, too. I always like when the clouds are hanging low in the mountains. Looks like you found some nice rocks as a plus. Thanks for sharing!

Those are some great pictures. Photo number 3 is fantastic and all pics are definitely from the eye of a photographer.

Thanks SO MUCH everyone for your kind words! Guess I'll keep up the little reports from my corner of the world then.
On another note... my very first ever rotary batch is through the first week now and currently in burnish. SOOOO excited about choosing which ones go the the next phase in the vibra. ... I'll take pictures.

So... until you are sick of it: Never! keep them coming haha What comes through in your photos, and what made the biggest impression on my when I was in Germany is how clean and pristine everything is and you don't see a lot of debris or garbage along the roads.

Well... for decades now we have really strict environmental regulations and laws. And while quite a few of them are a pain in the ass, downright nonsensical and a huge financial drag on the individual...there are undeniable benefits to some of them. People just do NOT dispose trash, or anything else for that matter, out by the roadside or in nature. The fines are huge and society at large really looks down upon such behavior.
There is always the "freedom against regulation" consideration in society and while I think we here have gone way over board on the "regulation" side of things... some of them yield good results - at least in that aspect.

... I know this has nothing to do with my original threat. Just need to share how some of the first rotary tumbled stones turned out. It's amazing how much some of them changed in just one week in 80 grit.
This is so much fun!
