      Yes, this is from THAT sighting!

      These first 20,000 posts flew by so quickly. Thanks to everyone for making ODP a wonderful community, and to everyone who takes the time to view my images and comment on them.

      Excellent milestone Morkel.

      I guess that almost every member of ODP has been helped and inspired by you and your magnificent photography.

      Many things I do on a regular basis in my photography has come directly or indirectly from you.

      Here's to the next 20K!!

      Super image to mark the moment
