Thanks for looking, and for the compliments, George.
If the EXIF says 24mm, then it was with my 10-24 Nikkor. Some of
the shots were with my 28/2.8 Nikkor, however. I do have a Leica
24, but have not converted it to Nikon mount, yet.
You sure it clears the mirror?
I sold mine as it couldn't work on the FF nikons

My wife and her dad are always cold. Maybe being from Southern
California has something to do with that. He is also 90, and has
gotten colder as he has aged. When we visit, he starts to feel warm
if it hits 95 F, and I am melting above 75 F. My wife is somewhere
in the middle.
Maybe some day you will get to visit the US again and take this trip.

Dear Adam, I loved your pictures. I note that you used a Nikon
camera but did you use a Leica 24mm lens or a Nikon zoom?
My great Grandfather was an engineer in the 19th century, the period
of great railroad expansion, and my grandmother told me that he
worked on the grade line for this rail. I have pictures of him
working on the western railroads in the 1870s. I will attach one. He
is standing on the platform near the engine. He died while working
on the Northern Pacific Railroad in the late 1880s. His name was
Washington Dunn, he lived in Lock Haven Penna, and you can goggle
him for more information. One of the members of our group delivered
newspapers to our house there in Lock Haven.
I loved your photos and think you framed them very well. You also
choose the best time when the Aspin are in their yellow phase before
the leaves drop. I have always wanted to go on this trip but never
in the west enough to make it. Now it is impossible since I live in
Korea. Another ride I recommend is the Cog Railway ride up Mount
Washington. It is spectacular. They even use trains that date from
the 1800s. Well thank you for the wonderful pictures. I do not
understand why people would not be overjoyed on a trip like this
even if it is cold and wet. Oh well we are all different. Sincerely,
George in Korea.
