Steve/Karl:
The shot at La Salle was indeed looking West. I pulled it out for a day
because I forgot to caption it. Now included are the 9211 at La Salle
and the 9208 at Congress Park. If they look a little strange you should
remember that at that age I just took every shot with the same shutter
settings. In these two cases Nikon really bailed me out with creating
something out of darkness in the first case and creating something
passable out of a too bright snow scene.
