Kind of close Mika...marbles. Used as a drain tray for a houseplant. Marbles are on a coffee container lid.

Stunning and exotic! There's no requirement that posts here are of travel or adventure - I think (and hope) it's anything we like... Goat?


I totally understand the forum is for anything we love, I just personally happen to love the travel/adventure photos the most! It's one of the biggest reasons National Geographic is so popular. The right photos can transport us miles away and we get a God's eye view of the tiniest to the largest.

Yum Yum- the Golden Digger wasps around here would eat her up in a flash! So anybody- How do we just "tag" someone's quote w/o re-posting all of the pics again if we want to do that? I have technical questions on photography too Goat, if you see this. Is it true or not that we should place the center of attention at about 60% height? I learned that in VC classs in HS. I was reading briefly about the "golden rectangle", is this true? also and can you elaborate explain a bit more?
