    Is it the ferry into Michigan? Or cutting across at the Sault? I was trying some darker atmosphere and attempting to catch the evening colours. What caught my eye about this was the telegraph line on the tracks. It's been cut for years and the the posts have all begun to lean as a result...

    Thanks Dan, nowhere near your level, but I appreciate it. Thanks Johnny, but I'll be doing intensive driving over long hours for six weeks so I'm opting for the airplane. Sorry on the herb too, I'm drug tested regularly [safety sensitive] so I abstain.

    I also have an 18-255 zoom. I just haven't used it much. I'm heading for the Ice Roads in January, hoping to catch some interesting shots up there.

    Chevy reVOLTing

    When did Wheels get into Partisan Politics? In fairness to GM the Volt is a first generation electric car which is bound to have issues. I think they're moving in the right direction. We better start embracing this technology, fossil fuel will be a thing of the past.

    Same sh*t different day

    Get yourself a panini press. I bought one and I love it. You can make fajita's, grill cheese, reuben sandwiches. With the sandwiches you just add some soup on the side and that's a nice meal changer. When I was a kid my parents used to hit the deli and bring home an assortment of cold cuts...
