Great stuff Michael! The sunset in #5 looks like the Eye of Sauron under the Mordor sky!

Thanks for the kind words everyone 
Yeah you could almost imagine being on the traverse to Mordore if it stayed like that the whole time!

Great shots Michael! A slight crop on No 4 might be interesting.

Wow - one of the best photo sets i have seen!
You've convinced me I need to get a wide angle since going full frame- (just got the 24-70f2.8 and 70-200 f4) used to love my 10-22 on a crop body but L lenses are soooo expensive!
Looks like you only used a 200mm once- do you think its worth taking out?

Thanks Woka and Robert. Yeah the sky is probably a little too dominant in No. 4 now that you mention it!
Yeah wide angle in a FF is fantastic, the 17-40mm f/4 L is a great lens but does suffer from distortion and sharpness isn't great at the edges (not sure how this compares to the more expensive and heavier 16-35mm f/2.8 L), but I have found it a very good lens, and at under 1g not too bad on the wallet They are expensive but well worth it if getting a little more serious about photography.
Yeah I didn't use the 200mm as much as I would have liked, but it was just a bit too much mucking about most of the time and the misty humid weather didn't encourage me to open the camera up either, but I think I would still take it if I did the traverse again as there are more than enough oppertunities to use it to justify carrying it, just depends whether you will have the time to be swapping lenses around.
Cheers,
Michael.
