Be proud of your camera eye and shutter finger, as well as your photo editor.

If I had to choose just one, I'd take that third shot of the engine on the trestle.

Thanks for posting. Fantastic photos with all the elements - nice sky, mountain scenery, a great consist and steam!

Regarding photo #3, does anyone know what that pipe of pipe is for, or used to be fore, on the far side of the canyon?

I second all of the above comments.  Great photography with dramatic lighting and sky.  #3 is the best, with #12 next in my opinion.

I think it is part of a water gauging station for the river.

Thank you for the kind words everyone, John, I believe the pipe has to do with the Tacoma Power Plant.
