I know what you mean. This was my second choice for this month's PUG -- the

Thanks, John,
You're right, there were lots of shots there. Unfortunately, that was the
only one I took, as it was the last frame on the film, and that was my last
roll of film. I'd have tried a few other shots, if I could have.

I would leave the wires, too. They seem to belong
there (seeing as how they really ARE there). For one,
the subtle drooping of the wires contrasts the sharp
angularity of the passageway. Same thing with the
color, black wires on white walls. Well, maybe I'm
getting too deep on simple things.

Well, I've already provided my opinion as to why our little informal

enough about it to make a huge deal about it. We tried it for a few
