Nice effect.  I know who's going to REALLY appreciate those train photos.  

A long time ago you posted a treatise on using sepia, to which I added a bit.

I don't remember if I told you this before, but the Chinese high school students I used to teach when I came here used to adopt English first names, often names of famous people, and one student called himself Kobe.  I don't know if he played basketball or not.

An image that has it all; COMPOSITION, LINEAR PERSPECTIVE RULE OF THIRDS, COMPLIMENTARY COLORS, REPOUSSOIR EDGE, ATMOSPHERIC PERSPECTIVE, DEPTH OF FIELD, INTERESTING SUBJECT MATTER … one could well use this image to teach beginning photographers and graphic artists … "This is what a perfect picture looks like!"

Have I ever mentioned that I tend to analyze imagery?

Morning... currently I have a mum and bub brush tailed possum at mine and my brother's house..

She gets fed at both places and just walks along the fence...she disappeared for weeks and now we know why..

It was quite warm the other night and having to carry baby on her back would have been quite uncomfortable...

We feed her banana, apple and mandarins..which she loves licking the juice off her paws..

They also love rose buds, they mow them off with great gusto much to my Ukraine SIL displeasure..but she is the first one out feeding mum and bub...

my cousins and I were taught how to catch them around my grandfather's ranch back in the 60's by his NA ranch foreman. a long stick, some line, a hook, and a worm in south park colorado. pan-fried in cornmeal that night for the family table.

It's a shame your lake has so few fish you have to buy the fish you might want to eat.  There never was a shortage of bass in the lake my chalet was on, and we never ate THAT many of them that it would even reduce their population.  I have absolutely no criticism of your pleasure in catching them, I just think that's only half of the enjoyment you could have had from them.
