    The horns ringing off the rocks up the MacTier are so lovely! Very nice.

    I looked in my notes to see where I was on this date. Was at Parry on Aug 4th, went north and returned to the Sound on the 17th. I certainly agree “The Sound” was a great place to be back then.

    Brad: Sounds like you are complimenting me for
    “SDs” great shot. :o )My only claim in this pic is the sign facing the camera in this photo. It now is on my garage wall.

    @awmooney I was complimenting you on ”The Sound” after my initial comment on the horns up the MacTier. Awesome about the sign!!

    @sdFourty Great shot! Sorry about the confusion. :)
