Dan, I used the e-mail address provided on your profile page to ask you about how this image can be purchased (in a small resolution version) for use on a brochure by a friend of mine. I don't know if you got or not that e-mail and that it's why I leave this comment here for you. Please reply to maria@mariadraper.com Thanks much, Maria. Hope to hear from you soon. By the way, this is one of your best images.

Hello Dan. Thank you so much for sharing your featured front page capture of "God Rays" with us all. When I had my Cancer op in 2005, and again now, when my little Benjie dog has had a canine Mast Cell Tumour removed, I have felt the need for collecting photos of "God Rays". I find they help immeasurably, so thanks again, most sincerely! Cheers. Margaret downunder.

Having lived in the area and traveled along the 395 corridor many times, seeing this picture brought back tons of memories of similar sights and settings. Thank You
