I saw one on the Big Island in Hawaii, but it wasn't nearly this big. I really was afraid to view it in original for fear that it would break my monitor! :) Great shot! GMV

You are right. It jumps in the original size. Very good detail. The oldest next to a new car is a very good contrast, also.

The light and the lines are excellent. Great found Laine. V
