    WOW! What a way to start the day. Thank you Chris! With all of the great images submitted I know it was a hard choice, but to pick Blue Train as the winner.... I'm still a little shocked. Everyone here does great work and I'm humbled anytime I even get a mention.

    I already have an idea for the next challenge and will try to get the thread posted later today. For those of you who just can"t wait that long, think Lone Sentinel.

    Thanks again everyone.

    Enjoy today, tomorrow is not guaranteed.
