Thank you very much for your support Sir Wolf, Damo, bonniebeth, Martin, Gordon, Baden, Playmo1989.

Let me answer all your question people:

RE:Will there more?

It's called "A Viking Voyage" not a conquest or battle or whatever so I guess this is it!

RE:The water

The pictures were taken in the swimming pool that was in our garden (well our garden during the holiday at least) I was shooting the pictures while in the water. I only used photoshop to get rid of chairs and the like in the background!

RE:Longhouse

Thanks a lot Damo, I made it from a cereal box, was a lot of fun being "crafty". Martin I think Damo meant the house in the background of the first couple of pictures (I could be wrong though)

RE:First two pictures

Thanks for your remark Martin. But maybe now (they were a bit to big earlier) that you see the entire picture, I can change your mind Martin. The focus is more the little boy excitdly running up to his dad who is happily enjoying his drink. He comes storming in just being able to yell to make sure he has his dads full attention when he is finally is within speaking range.

Hope that explains my reasoning.

RE:To many left handed people

WOW you have a sharp eye Martin. Thank you SOOO much for noticing. It makes me realize every detail DOES count. I had the help of my six year old for this. He was in charge of weapon/shield distribution. When he was done I noticed the exact same thing. But felt it would not be correct to go and change everything and make him feel like he made a mistake. I did however explain to him afterwards that most people will hold their weapon in their right hand and their shield left as there are more right handed people in the world. (All Polar Bears are LEFT HANDED btw)

Once again thank you for all your praise and comments and guess what......


next up....

That's a great photo-story, Gis!  Normally I would be disappointed with a lack of closure, but I know what happens next.

Thanks a lot Justindo! You shouldn't be peeking ahead next time *wink*

This is a great photo story and I love the outdoor pictures 

The set up amongst the leaves is an excellent idea and all the characters are blending beautifully !

Thank you Karim. I actually had a piece of wood which is sort of the same colour that I used to place the klickies on and then put the leaves back over them again to cover the wood. I was very happy with the result :-)

That's a good idea, Gis, as you would have no problems with klickies falling over just as you press the shutter button.

Thats what you think!!! But those Vikings are an unrule lot. They kept pushing eachother over wanting to be in the spotlight. In the end I had a conversation with their King who seemed to have a lot more sway with them!
