Wonderful pictures of Clark County.

One of the few great things I love from local newspaper is they have a WONDERFUL picture gallery.

(Due to copyright laws and some egregious examples of heavy handed enforcement in the US of news stories and photographs along with their digital conversions from the current multiple differing versions of the snoozemedia, I will not republish the work here. If you are interested, please take a look for yourself through the link and enjoy! :-)

I have always wondered WHY the Columbian photographers for years have not had been up for awards for their work??

Planes, trains and over enthused idiots?

Yep, I have a person infiniation with trains!

But this video scares me! Sees some thing thinks its a GREAT idea to run in front of a steam locomotive near Wishram, Washington in the Klickitat County ~ central area of the Columbia River Gorge on the Washington state side of the Columbia River. I say, if you love trains, get out your camera and stand back about 20 feet from edge of the rails. Most good video cameras and decent digital cameras will still be able to get you good shots from that far.  But you won't become human road pizza.

There is a reason why there are laws about being around trains this close or playing around. The engineers do not want to kill people or have it scar their memories banks and the railroads do not want the lawsuit from estates.

So please guys, use some COMMON sense!
