Carolyn M. Fletcher August 31, 2003
Wow.. Sob, sob, blubber...Guess this means the rest of us better pack up and go back to bed for this month..Incredible shot, incredible buzz . This is just amazing!! #183189Kathleen Clemons August 31, 2003
Just when I was thinking I had a favorite from this series (yesterday's) you go and post another stunner! :) #183244Murry Grigsby August 31, 2003
THanks, Darren, Shirley, Jeff, Gordon, Char, Bill, Carolyn and Kath :0) Well my e-mail is down again and Grace has brought us a weekend washout so thank goodness for BP! I'm attaching the sharpened but unbuzzed scan, Gordon, and another shot from near the mill. The amazing part is that there is a large parking lot and visitors center just out of these photos to the left. It can be very crowded and you can still get uncluttered shots of the mill. Like I said, it gets my vote for the best mill site in the USA. Quit your blubbering, Carolyn. I think Oksana has this month sewed up? #183271Susana Matos August 31, 2003
you make me dream about autumn and all these colors. I´ll be outside all the time trying to get colorful shots like yours.Gene Spears August 31, 2003
absolutely beautiful - inspirational - well done once again! #183291Patricia Marroquin August 31, 2003
You said you were going to save the best for last and you were right, Murry! All I can say is WOW! Thanks for posting the unbuzzed version as well. Goes to show that this was a spectacular, well-photographed scene whether you buzzed it or not! :-) #183308Evy Johansen August 31, 2003
Wonderful image, Murry! I like the unbuzzed too! #183365ilana peled August 31, 2003
The colors are swirelling around you -buzzed or not... I feel like drowning in colors.. #183428Murry Grigsby August 31, 2003
Thanks, Su, Gene, Patricia, Evy and Ilana :0) Keep in mind that all I did was push the shutter button. All the beauty was there for the taking. I'm glad I could share what I felt with the rest of you. #183433ricky A. riddle August 31, 2003
