Thanks a lot Dave! We have 3+" of ice covered by 1-2" of snow! Temps won't even get to freeziing until Wed/Thurs... It'll be another week after that before I can get the bike out of the garage...:mad:


Seriously, nice pics - worth framing! Glad you and James had a good time...

Most excellent, and a good start for the 2007 photo contest!

I have to ask: What is Solomon's castle? Looks like someone pranked a local noble by wrapping his place in aluminum foil!

Solomon's Castle (http://www.roadsideamerica.com/attract/FLONAcastle.html) is a bit of Old Florida and the creation of Solomon, who else.

The entire place is made from reclaimed and re-purposed junk. Solomon is an eclectic artist to put it mildly and the place is packed with his creations.

Thanks Joe, Sol as viewed from FlatLand makes it easy to take interesting photos, the 10.1 mega-pixel Casio Exilim EX-Z1000 does the rest.
