Thanks Jerry for the great comments. As you guessed, one of my favorite SP Tehachapi images from the mid 90s. I had spent the weekend in the Pass and all kinds of weird weather passed through accounting for the unusual clouds. I sure miss those SP days now!

Thom, I know what you mean. By losing both ATSF and SP, it's just not as motivating as it once was to go after certain shots these days  . |
