Nice shot Floyd, good colors also!
Your image is a lil' bit blurry, might want to apply Photoshop's unsharp mask if you have it...

I took the liberty to resize it a little, and to apply unsharp mask... hope you don't mind... 8)

Also, sometimes BIGGER is NOT necessarily BETTER... wink

Keep'em coming, my friend!

Skyline Drive & Blue Ridge Mountain

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo

Ansuman, plan your trip well... as the speed limit is about 35mph, making the drive a beautiful one, but also a VERY-VERY SLOW one...

I took my family there about a month ago... simply breathtaking!

Good for you Mike! 8)
I never heard about this system you mention... any more info?

My wife and I go to the Gym every other day, for about an hour or so, and it sure helps stay in shape (and feel less rusty...) wink (we started about a year ago...)


Clear skies to you!
