Cad East 26/2/14

Post by luke28 » Wed Feb 26, 2014 11:11 pm

My first outing of the year today, amazing traffic but awful light until late afternoon meant the Mirages shots were barely keepable, I'm putting them on here for the rarity more than the quality :lol:

You certainly came up trumps there matey, well done! :thumb: Going up the Loop can be a bit of a lottery these days, but sometimes can just get lucky. ;)

Nice shots Luke, Head ons especially, but the Mirages are great even though the light was poor, lets hope they come over again in better weather eh.

Very nice Luke, it was a great day. I was on the Exit, the Mirages were great to see just a shame they stayed high when they came down our part of the valley
