    Default I wish I had the level of visual recall!

    Foy,

    That's pretty impressive to pull that one out of the memory bank with no hints!

    Default 3 hours, 26 minutes...

    ... what took you so long? :)

    Yep; saw them and decided to squat down and make them the focus of the shot.

    Lovely town Victoria; and for US Citizens a great place to enjoy a certain country's rolled tobacco products. Just don't bring them back across the border.

    Was smoking my final one on the fantail of the ferry to Port Angeles, when a couple of fast intercept Coast Guard vessels, complete with 50 calibers mounted stem and stern came out of nowhere and paced us. Almost convinced myself they could smell my smoke and were coming after me. I knew they were just using the ferry as a training exercise, but it was fun to imagine being arrested for smuggling... kind of.

    Do you like "Camacho Triple Maduro" as well? If so, you'd probably relate with this article....written by another FPI writer.

    Default thought I had it, but now I don't think so.

    I thought at first it was the Santa Barbara courthouse, but the entrance is wrong, too plain.

    Union Station in LA?

    Definitely SoCal either way; architecture too distinctive plus all those palm trees.

    AH! You can just make out the street sign!! Union Station.

    Default It's a Monday -- I thought the "extra" might be good

    Yeah, I thought leaving the "Union Station" sign readable would be appreciated for a Monday!

    You got it.

    Default Trail to Whitney per chance

    I am afraid I've not see this place. Great geologic forces at work therein. Wonderful photo.
