I took about a hundred shots from this location until the guard asked me about my "suspicious" activity. When I got home, this was the second shot from the bunch and the only one that is not crooked, sharp, and offered a wide view of the station. Props to markwiley for hinting me about in-camera settings that I used to get the effect shown in this photo.

Delighted that this stayed at PB territory on the day of rollover. I agree to kroburg that this is one of the perks of living in my 'hood!


Edit
Wow! This is super. Thanks for the comments, first ribbon and a PB .

Congrats on your first blue - and absolutely deserved. This would have held its own under any of the editing rule-sets.
