Two of the photos in your swf on the tiny train station are really cool- the ones with the two tracks and grass/lights w/and w/out the passing train- very cool! Happy Holidays.

thanks def!
i would've shot more but it was kind of creepy there (and it was only me and my classmate, another girl there) so we just stayed for like less than five minutes.
i was actually surprised the train photo turned out "well".
happy holidays to you too!
