I think I found my favorite photo I've taken...
Took it tonight just outside downtown Salt Lake City. It's at the North Yard terminal here - the most congested terminal in the United States.

What do you think?

2. It's wonderful. The train gives it perspective, a feeling of being right there.

3. Beautiful.

Tucson is SURROUNDED by mountains, though they're not as majestic nor
as close-up as those.

It's still breathtaking -- especially when I've taken them for granted
for awhile and all of a sudden SEE them again and realize what a
beautiful location I'm spending this part of my life in.

4. That is stunning. I have a question.
Why is the center out of focus? Heat?

8. Wow! Truly great!!...
...the composition, subject(s), all the rest, including the underlying (or maybe dominant), "industrialization vs the environment" theme.

Love it.

21. I would frame that and put it on my wall
Not "if I were you" but me, I would do it. And that's not something I typically feel about a photo.

It is spectacular. I keep coming back to look at it again and again.
