 In Memory of Walter Koch (Swisswalter)
There must have been a reason for me to keep setting up on Monday to catch a gap even though it was high winds and driving rain, yet managed to get a very cloudy sad looking Sun.
Then sadly found out everybody's dear friend Walter had passed away on the morning of the 27th, so I dedicate this image taken on the sad day to my friend.....RIP...you will be missed...
