It's been a hectic couple of weeks, so I haven't been around much. Here are my ideas. What do you think?

#1 - Close

#2 - Trolley

At one point, you could ride a trolley from Pittsburgh to Chicago, switching from one trolley company to another.

#3 - Promise

At my nephew's wedding. :D

I'll have an opportunity to explore a few others tomorrow. We are going to Meadowcroft - a rock shelter that is the oldest paleo-Indian site in the Americas. :barb

    Thanks, Mark. As requested, here are a couple of B&W conversions.

    Thanks, kdotaylor, PupWeb, Tatiana, anonymouscuban, bf2015, red_zone and AndMan! I appreciate the comments.

    The idea on the other two was yesterday. Trolleys are obsolete and horseshoes is a game that not many still play. But I guess it doesn't come across well enough.

    Pupweb, I appreciate the suggestion on the shadow. I think I will not have enough time to do much editing, especially something at which I am not yet fluent. I am visiting my folks and will be tied up for most of the weekend.

    #3 is spot on the theme! Great shot! I actually like the color shot the best ;)

    I had a few minutes today to clone out the shadow of the groom's pinky on the bride's hand.

    What do you think? Is this better?

    I also have a B&W version, but Smugmug is uploading slowly tonight.
