Six, seven, and twelve really caught my eye, Kambiz. The first black and whites for some reason, brought the term "whiteout" to mind. Great set.

Great stuff, that all of us wish we had taken. Would love to make it there some day but old age is closing on quickly so most likely not. I hope you are recovering from covid, my brother and shooting partner six years younger than me passed away two years ago during the worst of covid. Bruce

Thank you so much Bruce...
Unfortunately I am not that young either, and there are still a lot of places that I like to travel to, with Africa being top of my list! But as the saying goes: When you have the energy, you don't have the time nor the money. And when you finally retire, you hopefully have some savings and of course, a lot of time, but no energy anymore
For me still having a full time day job, and younger kids, it is just hard to plan any travels if it requires more than just a few days. So I am usually limited to weekend getaways only. This Churchill trip was a real exception and the first time for me in many many years that I could take a few days off work and travel alone...
As for Covid, very sorry to hear about your brother. May he rest in peace... I also lost a couple of family members, including my father-in-law, to Covid during the worst Delta variant. This was my first-time ever catching it, and it was really tough for the first couple of days. But thankfully I have now mostly recovered. Apparently the number of Covid cases have recently picked up significantly again but luckily with the current variants of the virus, the very severe cases remain rare...

Absolutely stunning images, not sure how I missed the post but you certainly earned the Thread of the Week without doubt 
Visually pleasing both in B&W and in color, excellent presentation in my eyes
