Guest Guest Posted January 3, 2009 This and millions like him are one of the reasons I created the plan , for as the roads are enclosed and the land used to produce cash crops , areas would be set aside campground like that would house any who need it ,.Great shot of some one in need ! Hope you find everything you seek in the New Year ! .................Regards From Sunny Florida ! Link to comment

maggies 0 Posted January 4, 2009 Jeffery,Jorg, El, Jose and Vicente...Thank you for your supportive comments...El and Jorg...If possible, I always prefer B&W for my street shots...In this case I didn't find enouph tonal range or contrast...one can't see the pennies or the garbage as clearly...I felt it didn't have as much impact...these were my results....
