I haven't had time to scan the traction engines, but will do sometime. I'm glad someone else mentioned Prague when viewing my steeples shot; that's the feeling I got when I first noticed the scene. It took me three years to get that shot. I took the picture from a freeway bridge that was only open to pedestrians once a year during a festival. The first two years the weather wasn't right, but on the third try - BINGO! With the storm clouds, this light only lasted about 30 seconds before the sun came out below the clouds and flared right in the lens, but I managed three frames. (This was also taken through the screen on the window) I shot the WinterCurtain a year ago and didn't see it until I sent in my Kodachrome last month, but for me it was worth the wait. It gives me a restful feeling. I think I was influenced by the Saul Leiter exhibit at the museum that I had just finished viewing. They were selling a monograph on him that I bought and highly recommend. He is one of my favorite photographers now.
