Thank you indeed Jim!
Sometimes things are there just at the right time. And my growing collection 
of macros, includes, objects, is paying off. I can very well imagine your 
thoughts at Niagara Falls indeed. I am fascinated by industrial 
architecture, probably more in an archeological sense as I have a preference 
for the abandoned sites, and am always tempted to do something around them. 
Not often that I use those elements, though. The right mood and inspiration 
have to be present too. There are a number of pieces I would like to do 
around that theme. In fact, I have one for the current IRTC, but it seems 
not to come off the ground, so we'll see. There are other temptations 
around.

I recently saw some photographic work from the site of Tchernobyl. Man! How 
that reminded me of Tarkovski's Stalker! There is a source of inspiration 
there. Beware however not to get too depressed :-)  But there is a strange 
kind of beauty in those derelict scenes. Especially seeing how nature takes 
over again, as if Man had only been a passing storm.
