Nice set from the east side. Looks like a good day! I like the CN action. Have to note that quite a few of your photos are leaning to the right, and could use some counter clockwise rotation if you edit them or such. Not being picky just bugs me a little (levelness is something I normally spend quite a bit of time on because it bugs me )
