  Jeff- I can not get over the way you see things and present them with such beautiful fasination. I just love the EOD you see here and the black and white. It has some fasinating lines. I so enjoyed the story behind the picture, it just adds so much to the joy of viewing your works. Amazing stuff my friend.
Have a great day and take care.
