Very nice pictures!I myself am just an amature who enjoys taking pictures.You will probably see me around somewhere, because I just like going where ever my car takes me and then I will stop and start shooting pictures.I won 2nd place picture contest in the "WI Department of Transportaion Rustic roads contest 2004" and they are using a few others pictures for there travel books.I was just lucky that time!But I am proud of it.I am working on a few more contests every year,It's just to much fun. Your site has good tips and ideas also!
