Well, I nearly don't have a camera now, but whatever I'm carrying, if I see something interesting, I shoot it.

Solid set. There's a lot of character in each of your photos.

I stayed about a block or two from here when I was in town. Solid set, Goon. I recognized more places than I thought I would. Can't wait 'til I visit again!

Oh, I needed that.

You've got an amazing eye for composition, color, and depth, and you pick really arresting subjects. I especially like the "before and after" quality of the rockpile in front of the skyline, and the sense of sheer joy of a beanbag race in the middle of a street normally given over to car traffic. Your best thread yet, regardless of the camera used.

^ Thanks a lot fflint, I really appreciate that. Everyone else too.

Kool, some parts are Montrealish, but its very tribal.

BTW, my Blackberry montage didn't upload correctly the first go-round. I added it to the thread:

A poorly scheduled transfer leads to excellent shots of the rail yard!
