Thanks for the kind words, Vinny.

Brian K, your work is beautiful! May I ask where these images were made? The landscape looks so serene. Wonderful!

Thanks Sanjay, the rolling hill stuff is in the Palouse which is the south eastern end of Washington state. The lighter image was taken near Utah Lake in Utah.

Is the "High Line" the freight cutoff that goes through West Philly? Does it still exist?
