I'd like to think the award is not just for the quality of your work but also how your very positive personality comes through with your own posts and also your very welcome positive comments to other people's posts whether they are newcomers or oldcomers.
Now, post more images.

Thanks everyone, you are all too kind :)
It was great to meet Michael Wilkinson and Andre van der Hoeven both are really great guys. I also met the inventor of the solargraph beer can pin hole camera so it was a lovely evening. I also met some great young people too, I hope they come and visit Solarchat as I said we were all a super bunch of very kind and generous folks :)
