Post by: Chris Calohan on September 06, 2012, 10:19:41 am: I am quite sure it is far-far from me as my temp is expected to top 95 (F) today. Brrrrrrrrrrrr....snow and cold are things I like to experience vicariously - through someone else's experience - in photographs. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr is not for me.

Post by: Chris Calohan on September 06, 2012, 11:03:20 am: I probably risk wrath from the larger constituency, but I do have to take exception to part of the compositional study in that the horizon is quite off kilter. My edit shows it in a normal compliance and while I know some people don't think it is important, I do - in most cases - like this one.
