Location: Way up high

I was spoilt for choice this week so I thought I'd pick a couple of images with a common theme...photos of folks who have walked up big hills.

Today's second pick comes from the much celebrated camera of . He's a regular here and looking at , it should be obvious why. Nathan really goes out of his way to get that perfect image and this one is no exception. Correct me if I'm wrong but it looks as if this was carefully planned, that Nathan didn't just happen across a dude in a red suit, standing perfectly still and straight, waiting for his photo to be taken. That is just cool. On top of that, the contrast between snowy mountain and sunny coast makes the perfect setting for the contrast of red on white. Stark, a little spooky and very, very cool.

Thanks Nathan and Vanessa!
