Greetings, Tom, and welcome to Steemit.

From your intro post, it seems like you have plenty to offer to this platform. Your unique career will provide much of interest, and with your fine writing style and your great photos, we can look forward to some very interesting and informative posts.

Hopefully, you can lay claim to a share of the vast and growing Steemit territory – without a "territorial chin slap."

Best of luck, and Full Steem Ahead.
