I hope you appreciate this shot, my knees sure don't. This is the Silverton Durango RR tracks shot from the roadbed.

Nice shot Bob, like the colors. I assume that those tracks are no longer in use?

Know how you feel. The one reason I would like a tilting rear screen, then there goes WR, and I'd prefer the second. Good shot well worth the effort me thinks.

Still in use Heinrich, the Durango Silverton trains run this track at least once each day.

That would sure be convenient at times, I'll have to take a look at the tilt screen.

Looks good, buddy - great POV and I like the processing, which is . . . . . . . . "different" . . . . . . . in a way I can't quite define. A really nice job, my friend.

thanks Ranger, you know, I don't have much of a problem getting down, it's that getting back up that isn't easy for me.
