Geo, great photos. The sculpture of the three Vietnam soldiers is incredible. Look at those faces. They are just boys! So young.

Haven't put anything up for awhile so I thought I would add this. Got this candid of DD and SIL while we were hiking on the Coast Trail near Stinson Beach last January.

and here's one with all of the urchins:

A reflection of a building. I thought it gave an interesting wrinkled look.

Urchins? The guy in green looks like a pirate!

LOL! I was thinking the same thing. Steve, I didn't know you had a pirate in your family.

Kasteer, those were really interesting pictures. Thanks for posting.

Geo, you captured the moments beautifully at all of those DC monuments, thank you. I've never been there but it's on my list for a sooner rather than later trip.

kasteer, is that an alpaca? AN ALPACA?!?! Man, you just never know what you'll find when you open this thread! Thanks for posting.

Thank you Susan. DW and I have been going to NYC on a weekly basis for at least 15 years. This was the first time but definitely not the last time we will extend the trip by taking the train to DC. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in DC and realize that there is tons to do and see. Photo opportunities are just incredible.

Thank you. And you're welcome.

Kasteer,

Some nice photos of Argentina -- I especially like the street shots with the pavers and the building with the tonalities which match the mouontains behind. That warning sign in the natural park seems to suggest mountain lions as they do tend to see people as a food shopping item.

How many hours to fly to Buenas Aires?

The Denver City and County Building from a few years back. I think there are more blue lights this year.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone!

It's Christmas, and at Steamtown all the engines are tucked away, hibernating in the roundhouse, dreaming sweet dreams until spring...

I looked at the latest pictures posted and they are amazing. Hat Trick, Phydeaux, etc: what kind of cameras are you using? (Or are you just extremely talented photographers? ) My pictures never look that good!
