    1drink.gif I'll have to be careful on my descriptions for "out of the States" posters.

    NO...not coke as in a drink...but coke that is processed to make steel.
    I was on this property a few years ago and the coke ovens are massive. I'll
    have to dig out a few pictures I took. I worked for US Steel Corp., in the railroad industry portion sector,
    and retired early last year with 36 years service. clap.gif

    Here's where I worked: http://www.tstarinc.com/

    you hand stitched this in PS? if so, really great job.
    but except the white vegetable, the rest looks like traditional BW to me, probably because of cloudy sky.

    Hi phuong...welcome aboard and thanks for commenting. thumb.gif

    This is a stitch of 3 photo's and you won't believe what I used.
    I have an OLD, and I mean old photo program called MGI PhotoSuite 4
    that I've had since since 1999 or 2000 and it does an excellent job of stitching.
    I use it all the time even though I have other programs that do pano's.

    White vegetables...that's funny. Yes, you're right. A hazy, cloud day and
    not good conditions for IR. PP was a bear!
