I remember seeing this when it was a winner, Michael, and thinking, "Wow!" I wonder if you just happened to have the tripod with you or noticed the possibility of a great shot and brought along the tripod on a return trip? Judy M. #2734820

Michael S. Baker May 23, 2006

Hi Judy;
I've been through this terminal many times- I carry a lightweight tripod whenever I travel and I knew this tunnel had many photographic possibilities. I've got hundreds of images from this place.

Thanks for stopping by...glad you liked this image!
