Mike- WTG my friend. Congratulations on being a Finalist with this wonderful picture. #7083683Michael Umbreit January 25, 2009
Deb/Mike/Jeana/Frank - Thanks! I drove down this stretch of road a couple of nights ago and I was surprised to see the lights were still on. I would love to get some more night shots but I have my doubts that I will. It has been so cold lately. - Mike #7084009Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
