Well, we managed to move house – but we're still surrounded by boxes (and are fast forgetting what's in any of them), still don't have an ADSL connection (though should be hooked up by tomorrow) – but are thoroughly delighted to be in our new home. I'm also really pleased with the way things have been going with chromasia in my absence - the guest bloggers did a wonderful job and I was touched by the obvious effort and care they put into their entries. If you want to look through their entries you can see all of them in the guest entry category.
As for this shot: it isn't cropped, it isn't a montage, but it is rotated, … and it's probably one of many shots of Blackpool Tower that I'll be putting up over the coming months.
Oh, I did put up one entry last week and I'm really pleased that it was awarded a noteworthy in the Photo FridayOcean challenge. Many thanks to everyone who voted.
It's good to be back :-)))

It is good to have you back :)
But have to say the guest entry category was a superb idea, better than photo friday :) well done for the idea and congratulations for the superb shot. Surreal!
Fantastic image! ... I'm a huge fan of photos like this one... Great to have you back -- in the Captain's Chair, so to speak... now, get back to posting great images! This is a wonderful beginning!
ok, now this is amazing! i spent quite a few minutes to figure this out and rotated it in photoshop to get it. i could have swrorn it was a double exposure. excellent shot david.
and congrats on photofriday, your shot deserved it. i should get on to pf again; so many things to do, so little time.

That does it, I'm throwing my camera away. This photo is just too cool! :-)
Myla: how about a shot of Marje Simpson to accompany my Photo Friday Father entry? ;-)

This is an excellent photograph, it looks like an old photo that is damaged on the top-left corner, but in a good way.

I was initially taken aback when I saw this one. Very apocalyptic... it looks like you're shooting through a pane of glass with sand blown on it... or perhaps the glass is reflecting a sanding floor.

Welcome back. Glad everything went to plan!
Excellent shot to come back with too! ; )

Welcome back! Wonderful effect in this shot - the top half looks like an old water-damaged print.

You never cease to amaze me. Welcome back -- I'm looking forward to your "Mother" shot =)
Good to have you back.
And wonderful pic, too. Took me a while to figure it out.
Thanks everyone.
Emily: ok, I upgraded this one to my portfolio category – thanks.

Very unique.
Nice Shot...specially that the top part looks like clouds and make it hard to guess it's a reflection. I have a similar reflection that is rotated at:

Hope you enjoy.
Cheers,
wow, that's quite a reflection, david. excellent capture.
Great photo, I like anything that makes me think :)
The guest bloggers did a great job, and this absolutely rocks as a comeback. Well done Dave!
Excellent photo :)
Brill Shot, I stumbled across your site and have now made it my daily viewing must.
Thanks everyone :-)
WOW!!!
