Very nice Allan, love the composition and the lighting and the train showing movement. Really great shot. We had a LOT of rain yesterday so someone up State from us is probably getting snow today! Burrr glad it missed us. #906942

Thank you all so very much (Sanjay, Donna, Rob, Marcie, Mike, Lorri, and Carolyn) I truly appreciate the great comments and very kind words. They had 4 inches of snow in Calgary last week and 3 inches in Barrie, which is only 50 miles north of here. I hope it stays up there, eh… - Your good friend, Allan #907041

I appreciate the great comments and kind words everybody (Colleen, Joy, Wally, Diane, Debby, Pat, Barbara, Donald, Cindy, and Darren) thank you so much, my dear friends. Diane, no snow yet and the forcast for next weekend is mid - high 40s with a few showers, so you should be allright, weather wise, but I'm not sure about your sanity, but no 'clause' for alarm, (sanity clause, eh… he, he, he) - your good friend, Allan #907269

Well, it looked like this here in NY yesterday... and we still have some leaves on the trees. Too early for me... but other than move, gotta live with it. Nice angle and perspective Allan, I like it's lights on too. #908102

Phil Sauvey November 13, 2004

Allan,

Cool (no pun intended) photograph! Sure looks like the local trains going through here with all the snow. Only difference is, we only have the one track through our neighborhood. Your photo looks like it is right on track to me! Have a super weekend!
