    One day, I started writing, not knowing that I had chained myself for life to a noble but merciless master. When God hands you a gift, he also hands you a whip; and the whip is intended solely for self-flagellation...I'm here alone in my dark madness, all by myself with my deck of cards --- and, of course, the whip God gave me."

    Beauty. I grew up in Pittsburgh. That's a nice capture of the city. Are you on one of the boats, or Birmingham bridge?

    Here are a couple of mine for consideration:

    1. San Antonio Riverwalk at night during Christmas season. It doesn't show a cityscape of buildings but the Riverwalk is truly the "cityscape" of our city.

    2. 3-exposure pano of the Algiers neighborhood of New Orleans, with a cross-processed vintage look in PS.
    643268269_8SE47-L.jpg

    3. San Antonio Riverwalk at dusk, this time with a few buildings. Shot through bridge railing.
