Totally understand...my hand feels ...empty...without a camera...Here's hoping for a swift reversal of situation.

I haven't had a working camera for quite a while. Depressing.

Thank you Mark...glad you liked this one...have seen green ones in India but the orangey-red is so much brighter. Today is literally the last day of my vacations. Haven't seen you around much, lately. Hope all is well.

Haven't seen these since a child. Hope you're enjoying that part of the world.
