p.1 #1 · Hopper Hunt 2

Found this one by the side of the house on an old body board - mini surf board. Got a couple shots then off we went.

Thanks Tom. The first 'Hunt' or pic? I only put the first shot in to give a sense of the overall architecture, didn't think anyone would actually favour it. Just goes to show, once more, preferences are so individual.

I prefer the second for the otherworldliness of it, given the blue horizon. I might have called it Alien Spacesuit.

Terrific shots. I agree with you that #2 gives the beastie a suitable "otherwordly" look.

Wonderful series of a very strange looking hopper - maybe it's a very rare surfing hopper ?

Ah! I knew the little alien was trying to communicate and I kept hearing that song at the back of my mind "Let's go sur... ".
