Nice Leon, really like the bridge one, and the old building. Would have been great if there would have been some clouds to work with.

Thks Fred! Yep no clouds & extremely hot!!! LOL the only one with a hint of clouds was the one that was crap, still don't know why it came out that way on the post.

Hey Wayne, that is a roadside park at the base of "the Hill". After ascending & then descending that huge 15 degree grade hill, a lot of people need a rest!!
