| Thank you Daniel. If it weren't for all the help and pointers you all have given they would not be turning out as well as they are.  Oh, and I forgot to post this with the others. |

| Hi Aaron, >Oh, and I forgot to post this with the others.:oops: Hm, do you have a polarizing filter now? The Newton's rings visible in the windscreen of the engine seem to indicate so. Plexiglass/Perspex has polarizing properties too, which depends on the mechanical stress exerted upon the Plexiglass piece. An (additional) polarizing filter can make this visible. Here's a picture where the effect gives the canopy of a Bell 47 a decidedly soap-bubbley look - definitely not my original plan! :-) Regards, Henning (HoHun) |

| Yes, but not in that photo. I'm not sure why that showed up. |

| Hi Aaron, >Yes, but not in that photo. I'm not sure why that showed up.:oops: Fascinating! Do you think it could perhaps be a thin oil film then? Looks like it was about to rain, maybe the engine had already encountered some fine spray that washed some oil onto the windscreen ... Regards, Henning (HoHun) |

| Found this trestle just outside of Saltville, Va. The locals call it Tin Bridge, it's located on route 745 which is Old Saltworks Road about 2 miles from Saltville. I believe it is part of the old Virginian line but I may be wrong. The photos are a little dark but I screwed up the camera. Oh well.    Last edited by Aaron Brooks Wolters; 04-02-2009 at 06:53 PM. |

| Thanks Daniel. I'm looking to get a 3 or 4 day weekend and go into West Virginia to look for some of the old Virginian line trestles. Maybe one day. |
