The light is fantastic, no doubt about it - but it can be awfully difficult to catch in a picture, somehow. It very rarely comes out as strong or as clear as it actually *is*, especially the full blazing sunshine. I think I need to mess around with my camera settings some and find out if I can get it any better.

Thanks for the offer of help :-) I've got a photobucket account, but I think I'll need to investigate flickr further, it seems to be a decent service. Nicci raves about it anyway! So if that's two of you using it and happy with it, seems I should definitely look into it :-)
