I know I posted some photos from the 'heath yesterday.......
I appreciate people might get bored of trawling through endless pictures of Eagles.....
I popped in again for an hour or so first thing this morning (and to quote Dr Evil...."it was frickin' freezing Mr Bigglesworth!").....
I've never really "got" the fascination with the reapers, but after this morning I think I might kinda love those guys....
It all started off normally enough, reasonable top side shot...nice light....

And then someone must have told them it was the last Friday of the month, cos all hell broke loose and those appreciative (and cold) souls at the Forest Road were treated to multiple performance take offs.....
Started with a nice bit of vapour...

Gentlemen, thank you...it was an honour and a privilege !!.....REAPERS RULE ! (there, I said it)
Sorry for the large post....I'm going for a lie down somewhere dark now......
Its gonna rain, its gonna rain till the levee breaks, a tidal wave of fear and pain washes us away, another fight into the night until nothing else remains, how do we find harbour from the Hurricane?
