Marty, have you ever had a lightning strike with all that steelwork you have around? Some of the gullys you bridge are deeeeeep, are they for storm water, natural or for the sake of the railway? Sorry to be so nosey but something to do with green & envy!!
Cheers,
Kim

Phil, the better one has been saved for MLS contest. As for GRYs, the lighting is off, focus isn't good enough, the car is not lite. I took this just to try to capture the "feel" of a storm. it has loaded up on here alot darker tho.
Kim, the bridge here is for drainage. the bigger MLS one is for looks. I'm blessed with living in the country.
PLUS this is hard shots. The storm is to the SE of the camera eye, there is blue sky above, and the setting suns rays are shooting over my head from the west under another front.. I was working in the shop and after the rain noticed the cool lighting so i pulled the easiest train out I had. With in 15 mins it was over.[:(]
