Namaste VF,

What are the very square areas that are next to a lake of some sorts ,are they growing beds for such like as vegatables or fish?

As ever, you are blowing the minds of us normally earth bound people who might only get into free Air every once in a while.

Brilliant pictures my high altitude friend, it really is a pleasure to follow your thread.

Fly with God of on your shoulder, for we all enjoy immensely your posts>

Many regards

Namaste Fellow Rotorheads

Thanks for the compliments on the pix I very much appreciate them which is inspiring to post more :)

The square ponds by the lake is a huge fish farm :bored:

Happy Landings always:ok:
