Okay, I finally finished sorting out the 300 or so crappy shots I took, and here's the cream of the crop.
Taken between Radium and Golden:

I like 3 & 4 best. Very nice work!

I think everyone here is stunned by them, which is probably why you've had no comments in 12 hours? (You owe me a <bump>!) :D

You know me from that *other* forum we go to that I love wide angles and commented on the last shot there, but #2 and #4 are the best of the lost. I love the "wide and to the side" view that the second shot gives. Awe-inspiring stuff.

Good to hear I'm pleasing my fans :p
If you check out RP, I've got a shot on that wasn't shown here.

Wow, all great shots. Something in the lower right hand corner of the first picture is throwing me off. It is a blue square of something? But I can't make out what it is.

the blue area is just normal water it starts where the reflection of the trains stops!
