    Where do you get your photos? I love your train photos.

    I realize from looking at your photos that landscapes are the most compelling to me. I enjoy all the photos but landscapes draw me in, put me in the place.

    I could study old photos like these all day long.

    Gardiner sure has changed in the last hundred plus years.

    I wonder if they're heading to Deadwood are leaving. Looks like the seats are sold out.
