Our task must be to free ourselves by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty

My guess is that it is mainly due to opportunities missed: As I have said before, I bring the camera (ready for action) more often than most people I know, and I also take the shot even when I know that it will probably fail. Thus I snap lots of failed shots, but every once in a while things work out and you get a good shot where you did not expect it.
All things considered: Shoot like crazy, and you will get some great shots out of it.
It also pays to know the camera. I have been through every nook and cranny of the manual and experimented with every single setting, even in ways not described in the manual. Keep experimenting.

Great pictures Lulim I loved the sunset.
Gilliatt, the view of these mountains is superb. The pictures are quite old but wonderful.
Can anyone guess what are these?
Olives? -- great pictures, Snowqueen!
