    Great treatment you gave this Kim, and seeing all that texture, no doubt you didn’t stop with this image. I couldn’t imagine the abstracts you might’ve extracted from the coup. This indeed was a great find and you did it justice. >< Ron

  • Kim Calvert replied

    Your wonderful comments always put a huge smile on my face Ron..thank you..I want to go back there really bad, but the past few times there has been a car in the drive..I think someone has bought it and maybe fixing it up..what a shame..lol..
