Thanks - they are certainly very interesting. Particularly liked the snow scenes. For people like me (who have not yet been lucky to visit the USA) a few titles might have added to the interest but, then, I'm just picky!

Ooops. Sorry about that. I did insert some general title info for each block of pictures. Hope it helps?

Nice pics ! Got any tips for shooting from a train ? My photos have always been spoiled by reflections off of the windows.

From the 1987 movie 'The Untouchables' with Kevin Costner, Sean Connery. Indeed they are...nice catch.

I usually use my hand to cup the area around the camera lens, keeping it very close to or on the window.
