Royce, you should have told me you were in the neighbourhood. Or maybe its just that so much of the southern Prairies looks like that - usually without the tree.

I was running flat out most of the time, scouting and dodging heavy weather.

This one was a bit north off Gap Road between West & Centre blocks. So yeah, it was in your neightborhood not just generic southern prairie. I'll be back down there again, and will connect...

Mike, when I moved back to the States in January I boughta Subaru Outback just for that very reason (my wife hates it

). Love the Trestle Bridge shot.

Mike, I like the fine art look of the foot bridge shot. B&W and vertical framing were good choices.

I also recently purchased a subaru forester for the same reason, Im really impressed with the cars capabilities. Good on fuel and will get you a lot more places. Not quite as good as a big 4wd, but good enough to take me to the places I want to go.

What?! The dealer promised me a Mustang is a sport utility vehicle. I'm holding them to that.

Don't get me wrong mike, I would LOVE a mustang. That thing looks wild!

Wuzet, I really like the colours of Reala, it looks bit gritty in the sky for 120, looks like too strong jpeg compression and deterioration of gradients...

Royce, if I can get away, I'm thinking new moon. The Milky Way over the Conglomerate Cliffs, if I can get it.

At the risk of being redundant, I made a second pass through my shots and found a better comp of that sunset. Here, I dashed 100 yards toward the intersection from the earlier posted pic in order to frame the railroad stop sign:
