They are both absolutely beautiful.

Someone in that class took a sunset picture that was the best I have ever seen. The instructor said it was the best he had ever seen, this same person without being pushy gave much more common sense help than the instructor. At the end of class we said we should have paid him.

My hearing is not good so that I could not blame on anyone but myself.
