Much prefer the 2nd pic Randy as the first one looked to me like your wee Scot had trod in something "nasty" as he crossed the Horse-Guards parade ground

I couldn't agree more. It's hard to hide the base on cobblestone, unlike snow, earth, or sand. That's why I decided to go with another shot.
Of course the Royal Horse Artillery did pass through Mons and very likely left their calling card.

Hi Randy

Your posts are getting from warm to hot ... almost boiling.
And if you are wondering ... that's good.

Yes it's a photo of an actual building in Mons that I found on the web and printed out as a background. The cobblestones visible in the 1st picture were also from a web photo that I printed out on cardstock.
