Dear NSers.

As this is the last post of the year for me, I wish you all the best for next year. I wish a very fruitful 2004 to all of you. And while I'm at it, all a merry Christmas as well.

Thanks for the motif.

I post this shot for my girlfriend. It's here favourite jackass shot. She even 'spoiled' my laptop with this shot as a BG.

I hope you forgive the hand of man in this shot, but I'm not really a cloner. I always get a lot of artifacts around them.

Now, at last, for the shot. Boulders Beach is a famous place near Cape Town in a place called Simon's Town. There is one of the few places where the jackasses have a colony on land. This shot was taken in, unfortunately, bright conditions. I'm sorry, but I see I haven't leveled the horizon.

Lastly I would also like to thank all the NSers who have visited my website this year. This year was very successful with more than 10000 hits which means more than doubled the hits of the previous 5 years. I'm aiming to the 15000 hits next year. Don't let me down...

Cheers

Peter
