Hi Bill - from another southwest denizen. I once spent a few days on St Mary's but missed those striking outcrops. I especially like the first image, which has very strong graphic qualities IMO. The second and fourth are interesting - almost anthropomorphic - studies, but I find the third a bit 'cartoonish' (qualification - looking on my laptop screen, so may be an unfair comment.)

Those rock formations are quite like those in La Digue, in the Seychelles (although coconut palms are missing!) Must get out to the Isles of Scilly some time
