Hope I am not boring you guys with my fixation on old, steam locomotives.

Well, it's not a competition but I would love to be able to photograph those cooling towers on a cold winters day.. I assume there would be a lot more steam/vapor coming out of them.. I can see it looking very impressive.Hope I am not boring you guys with my fixation on old, steam locomotives.

Very nice; west of the Cascades? Near Concrete (one of my favorite town names)?

. . . . . but spring in Texas with fields of Bluebonnets and Indian Paint Brush is a sight to behold.Uh... no vistas like this near Dallas... envy.... think I'll go take a shot of storm drain.. love both of them.
Photographs were taken south of route 20, west of I5 between Mt. Vernon & LaConner, WA this past Saturday. Saturday and Sunday were just two beautiful days up here in the great Northwest!Hi Dan:

I wasn't too far off. My wife and I have made many trips to the Cascades via I-5 to 20 through Mablemount. Many evenings before the flight home at Rockport State Park - a wonderful site.Photographs were taken south of route 20, west of I5 between Mt. Vernon & LaConner, WA this past Saturday.

A trip across Route 20 over to Winthrop is fantastic, especially on a motorcycle!I wasn't too far off. My wife and I have made many trips to the Cascades via I-5 to 20 through Mablemount. Many evenings before the flight home at Rockport State Park - a wonderful site.

I've made that trip (not in a motorcycle though); the climate difference on the eastern side is dramatic and occurs over such a short distance as to be startling.A trip across Route 20 over to Winthrop is fantastic, especially on a motorcycle!
Originally from the east coast, moved here in 1996 and the Northwest certainly won over my heart. It is beautiful!
Hi Jim,Well, it's not a competition but I would love to be able to photograph those cooling towers on a cold winters day.. I assume there would be a lot more steam/vapor coming out of them.. I can see it looking very impressive.
Definitely a good idea and something I hope to do.
Can be a bit of a hit or miss subject matter to travel to on this side of the pond though(I don't know how it is with you),due to the switch away from coal and onto biofuel and the limited allowable running hours that a lot of stations have had imposed upon them and thus timing the visit. No real coherent energy policy here it seems to me.But that's a whole different box of frogs!
