Over this past weekend my father and stepmother were in town visiting. They stayed at a little hotel down the road that happens to be on the water, so we spent a lot of time at their hotel.

I got several great sunset pics, altho a few of the nights it was rather cloudy, and so there wasn't much of a sunset...

These shots are from Saturday Night (12-01-2007)

All pics are very good, but the first one is a definite cut above the rest. It looks like a motivational poster.
Awesome job
Happy holidays
