    I recently got one of the larger versions in antiqued white metal. Mine is nowhere near as nice as yours. However, I can make a really nice holder for it.

    Truly stunning. Makes me pause and question collecting what I am collecting.

    Those are great pieces DUI. You didn't get those at S. Padre last week - did you? image The photographs are quite good. Practice gets 'er done, and you have some things that would make practicing picture taking a real treat!

    Yes. That was taken at Caprock Canyons State Park in the panhandle. I got out there before sunrise. This shot was taken maybe 15 or 20 minutes after sun-up.
