Low-flying in France - "You Can't always get what you want"...Pierrot.
Not every visit to France results in some great low level images which I could use in my book. Despite spending a number of days at two locations my first two visits of 2018 were very disappointing with no close passes, even though I had some very interesting subjects. |
