The premier of my son Chris' brainchild, "Weathering Wednesday" seemed to be very well received. There was some FABULOUS work displayed last week and we are hoping to see more. So, the bell is ringing for the beginning of Round 2. Prepare your photos and narratives and come out of your corners for another exciting week of "Weathering Wednesday".
But first, the forum ground rules as so stated by my good friend Patrick Whitehead (aka trumptrain), host of the popular topic of this type, Switcher Saturday:
- Have fun and enjoy!
- Post only photos that you have taken.
- If you post a photo taken by someone else or a copyrighted photo be sure you have express written permission from the photo's owner to post their photo.
- Any individual who posts copy written material is subject to legal liability. Furthermore that individual will be banned from the OGR Forum.
- Please consult the OGR Forum TOS (Terms of Service) for further information regarding copyrights.
Chris and I will start with some photos by more of Chris' work and some work done for us by other talented artists on the OGR forum. Remember, in addition to locomotives and rolling stock, buildings are also fair game. Also, please feel free to include photos and narratives of your techniques. We are all interested in learning from our friends on the forum.
