Dale great image. This is right in my backyard (extended). VR is a great place to take photo. Sunset there is pretty incredible. #8377679Dale Hardin February 13, 2010
Thanks Kirk. I had almost forgotten about that place. It was my first BP shoot and I had no idea what I was doing. Wasn't aware you live in the area. Where are you? #8378914Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
