I wish the sun had been out instead of the heavy overcast but as everyone knows, you take what you get and deal with it. lol

Fantastic shot Gary. 5*+++

Fits the back ground excellently! Another 5 star shot, Gary! Hoosier cheers!:-)

Great shot. At least a positive of overcast is that there are no harsh shadows and in this case you didn't even have to worry about a color loss on the plane!

Fantastic shot Gary! 5 *'s Thank you for sharing!

Dave, Hundo, Gavin, and Darryl >> Howdy to all of you and much Thanx for your comments and complis. Gavin >> (Grin) You must be a photographer .... you immediately identified the advantage that overcast skies provide AND you also knew that black and white are not colors and gray is a neutral so BK Blue actually has no color on it. (Wave, a grin, and a High 5 to you, sir). Dave, Hundo, and Darryl >> Any of you lads ever find yourselves heading for my turf here in N Nevada, let me know with a bit of advance notice and I'll arrange for some fine spotting activity during your visit(s). (Two thumbs up)

Great shot as always. GSR sign looks pretty close.

Hi again, Bill. TY for your comment. And hey, how do I get in touch with you? Let's meet. I can get to CXP easily. If you are interested in getting together for a cup of coffee, e/m me at OldeCarl@gmail.com. (Thumbs up)

Great shot, love the backdrop, I can almost feel the chill which is pretty amazing since we are in the middle of a heatwave here in OZ

The Best,The Blue..

Don .... What is happening in your country is beyond horrific. Recently, a group of f/fighters had traveled there to assist in battling the fires. One returned about ten days ago, and his account of the situation was beyond our ability to truly comprehend. A disaster of this magnitude would seem to be something that would make people throw up their hands and give up, but last year I met a small group of your countrymen at the Reno Air Races and if they are representative of the Australian populace, no one will EVER qive up. They were all super folks! Prayers and Best Wishes to you and all in Oz.

And let's not forget the three guys, who of their own free will and generosity came over here to help us and sadly lost their lives in the C130 water-bomber crash. Over here, there's too often mention of sporting heroes. They aren't heroes by any stretch, at best they are 'stars' if you like. Heroes are men and women such as those three who put themselves in harm's way to help others. May they rest in peace.
