    Very nice ! I like the first one.

    The day i was up there you could barely see the road below the smog was so bad. I had no idea it could get so bad. It was a muggy july day though.

    These are very nice; far nicer than my own very poor attempt at taking pictures at the same location in the evening (not helped by using a lens that starts at f3.5). At first I thought you'd managed to get a tripod out up there....

    Thanks! The bottom 4 or 5 pictures were actually at ~f5.0 on a 2-3 second delay. No tripod. I actually wedged the camera in the fence-it worked quite well. thumb.gif

    I'd never be able to handle actually going up there myself... I freak out when I get three steps off the ground lol

    so I love living dangerously through other people's pictures... very pretty at night.... good job! :)

    Amazing photos…boggles my mind as I look at them. I live in a small town that I can stand at one end and see five blocks down the other end of town.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

    Looking at your photos, the buildings and lights that go out to the horizon…Its just amazing thinking that with every light there; there is most likely a person and a story associated with it. <o:p></o:p>

    One of these days I will have to get a chance to make a trip to your fair city. <o:p></o:p>

    lol-I was. They told us we needed to get there so early and we just waited and waited.

    I took so many pictures of the airplanes coming in, etc., I was worried I may get myself in trouble.

    That trip was a lot of fun-as well as my 2006 trip there. Both times we rented a car and just drove around. It is really the perfect adventure for me-on the safe side, but a little adventurous still.
