Sirmione, Lake Garda Italy

In the mood for something pretty today! Even with the blooms half gone, I thought this made for a gorgeous and somewhat typical picturesque Italian scene.

Now for something a bit controversial!

For those of you interested in Explore Front Page Rigging! Please read this:

It's happened before and no doubt it will happen again but personally I would not dream of joining a group as a means to getting my photo on the front page???? Just seems like utter madness to me, not to mention fake and shallow. If you are a member of these groups, and are willingly and knowingly going along with this tripe to attain some miniscule modicum of fame? power? kudos? whatever? then know this, the only person you are fooling is yourself.

Explore is all very well, it's nice if you get one in, but if you don't, so what! The genuine people I have met on here are far more of a bonus to me than being in Explore.

End of rant!!
