Fantastic

I like 3 the most.....anything that shows your water is awesome though....I keep meaning to redownload FSWC to use with REX. I never think of it until I see your shots ......

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

Thank you Chuck! These pics are so lost in translation! By the by, if you keep going along this river west, you'll end up at CLYL! Wink

Wonderful set Greg. #4 is spectacular with the moon.

I see the moon (and) the moon sees me
The moon sees the somebody I'd like to see
God Bless the moon and God Bless me
And God Bless the somebody I'd like to see.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

It's a section of lyrics to an old song. If you search, you will get a number of different authors, and I don't know which is correct.

Light in all the right places.

[color=#000000]Thanks Mike! That means quite a bit coming from a master color man such as yourself!
