Damm John -- I get the impression you could get better pictures by holding
the camera with one hand out the window at 70mph than I ever will... (but
don't do that -- it would be tragic to drop an OM/Zuiko!)
In particular the last one ("Utah #2?) has an eerie 3-D quality to the
clouds... My monitor seems to have a six inch deep diorama inset into the
screen.
These pictures make me want to grab my car keys and a dozen rolls of film
and get out of my backyard! <g> Looking forward to seeing the rest...
