Location: Oeschinensee Kandersteg, Switzerland
We took some friends for a boat ride,
but before we got into the boat we had to report to the shore patrol for inspection.

Very interesting scene. Nice job! It is a little dark though, so you might want to try making it lighter with some editing program. #707058

Les, I have turned the "contact me" option off b/c each time I send or receive a comment it ends up on the e-mail & keeps filling up my mailbox. Is there a way to have people contact me without having every message sent to my regular e-mail. If there is no way to do that I will turn my 'contact me' option on & just keep deleting my mailbox. Hope that makes sense.
