    Very nice. I would clone out the jet contrail though.

    Hey Craig,

    The body of work you produced from the Xochimilico trip is top-rung stuff. Something to be really proud of.

    Take care, Tom
    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    Morning Tom,

    Thanks very much, it was just such a stunning place,

    can't believe that before our planning of the trip I had

    never heard of Xochimilico, can't wait to visit again and

    see what the other canals hold.
    Take care,

    I don't think those are contrails, there are two others further down the canal that are symetric with the first. look to be some wires maybe they hang lights off ne_nau.gif not sure. awesome shot as usual Craig. clap.gif

    Craig this is just beautiful :D

    The orange roofs on the boats go so nicely with the white of the tree's and the darkness of the water.

    Where is Xochimilico? Mexico?

    Howdy Devin,

    Thanks very much for the kind reply, I think your right about it wires, I do think they hang lanterns and lights.
    Take care,

    Howdy Mary,

    Thanks very much, you just wouldn't believe how many boats there are on there, and they have parties where the Musicans and Food People float up and tie to them while they are moving to play and the other folks serve food.

    Yes, it's just outside Mexico City, you should Google it, the History is amazing, like I wrote to Tom, I had never heard of it until we were planning our Trip, it was one of the Favorite things we did, and have plans to go again and do the other 2 Canals.
    Take care,

    Craig
