Virginian Elect. Photo 6

[NW Mailing List]

Joe,

You may be right, for its been a long time since I have been to the bridge 
site.  But, if the photographer of the EL-2B were perched on the side of the 
cut, he must have really leaned out with the camera.  Or maybe he was on the 
bridge and used a long lens?  Nevertheless, thanks for your contribution.

By the way, where did you get all of the added trees for your pictures?
