After 10 years and about 4 and half billion links served the time has come to move on from this place. I have so much on elsewhere that I just hav'nt had the time to devote to this place properly.
I'm still active at Photographs of Newcastle.
I may be back someday but for now it's farewell and take care.
Will the last one out please shut the door.....
