2. Nature does all the heavy lifting.

I actually posted these a couple of years ago; but I came across them again when moving my stuff from Imageshack to Flickr, and I thought I would put them up again. Warm summer evening, and clear at the lake. it was a magical dusk.

3. Cool shots.

It's funny how pollution can improve sunsets and so on. We had some amazing skies this past spring with all the wildfires. I guess we take lemons and make lemonade.

7. Looks like it was actually completed in 1912.

Here is a link to a site with some good photos of it during construction. It looks more modern to me than 1912, but apparently not.
