      يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اتَّقُوا رَبَّكُمْ وَاخْشَوْا يَوْماً لَّا يَجْزِي وَالِدٌ عَن وَلَدِهِ وَلَا مَوْلُودٌ هُوَ جَازٍ عَن وَالِدِهِ شَيْئاً إِنَّ وَعْدَ اللَّهِ حَقٌّ فَلَا تَغُرَّنَّكُمُ الْحَيَاةُ الدُّنْيَا وَلَا يَغُرَّنَّكُم بِاللَّهِ الْغَرُورُ
      O mankind! do your duty to your Lord, and fear (the coming of) a Day when no father can avail aught for his son, nor a son avail aught for his father. Verily, the promise of Allah is true: let not then this present life deceive you, nor let the chief Deceiver deceive you about Allah.

    I just can’t stop grinning watching you two out on your travels - yeah, I subscribed for the photography aspects, but you’re making us all smile with everything else associated with photography and travel - all we need to do now is persuade you to organise some workshops - i can just imagine the hilarity we’d have 👍

      James Popsys - yeah seriously, let’s get some ideas thrashed out ...... I mean, loads of YouTubing photographers are doing workshops these days, but clicking the book here links usually takes you to an offer to remortgage your house, or sell an organ.... but I bet there’s plenty of us who’d love to turn up for a more low brow photography workshop/meet-up, and where you’d have the joys of us joining in with your passion for sheep photography (damn that autocorrect 😜) - Mike

Video is also photography, btw, and most photog youtubers incorporate a ton more of that in their videos than actual picture taking. Which is fine with me. It's all about telling a story, and there's lots of ways to do that.

    Hey James and Emily. As a Victorian local, I've been to pretty much all those places (including Walhalla :-) Interestingly, it was the last town in Australia to be connected to electricity. In 1998!). When I was young we went to South Gippy and Wilson's Prom pretty much every summer. It's nice to see someone else enjoy our lovely state. Next time, as someone else has mentioned, try the Famers Union Iced Coffee. It kills Dare dead. I mentioned in a comment on another of your vids that if I'd known you were here, I'd have bought you beer. One of the best Australian beers is Coopers, so good to see you had a few! Don't worry too much about the next vid, we know it will be entertaining :-)
