    Thanks man, glad you like it. They posted it in the JPG blog for the theme, so I guess . . . agree to disagree on the last part :-)

    what a cinematic moment. excellent. you've really got me wanting the whole story... which means you've shown just enough, i guess.
    oh, and i'll agree to agree, if you please. i think it's perfect for the theme...

    Thanks man! It was quite the train ride. We were on our way to some mines that have lakes around them for a day of swimming. The train ride was the best part though . . . . we sat up on the roof of our jeep, just taking in the views and the occasional rain in our face ;-)
