Stunning!!! I get goose bumps looking at it. I could find a lot of mystical symbolism.

..or just see it as an amazing photograph.


Now how are you going to top that for your 100th post :wink:

My camera mount is of the type that screws onto a window and hence the 'jaws' cannot open far enough to directly mount onto the bar. I thus fastened a pice of aluminium angle iron (50X50) onto the bar using the same method as used to faster the training bars. The camera mount can now easily be fastened/removed in a few seconds. The cable ties are used as an extra 'insurance' in case some vibration might loosen the tightening screw........

Wil post a pic of the mount in action after the weekend. (^^)
