ARE YOU SERIOUS? This is incredible, Michael. FROM A WINDOW? AT 55 MPH? Man, that is so cool. You couldn't be so lucky as to get such an amazing compositon by a chance trip of shutter, but seeing this coming to your window at that speed and getting your setting right, and STILL compose so well is even MORE amazing. You have a muse. Great shot with the winding river, the light on the trees, and the detail in the background hills. #8190783
