...from the dock looking upstream. Lights from the city show up well, my house is on the right with the lights on...

Default Nice pictures Tony. :o)

K, Jaime and I stood outside checking out the eclipse. I knew my pimp CyberShot wasn't gonna even come close to taking any good pics, so it stayed in my work bag.
