Live Steam
Title:  Live Steam
Description:  This one caught me by complete surprise. Got in town the night before, made a quick trip thru the yard here and stumbled upon the 765. Got up early the next am to get some shot's as it left town. After dealing with the humidity that morning, which caused the lenses on the camera to fog overalmost continuously I managed to get some decent shots as she left town. Gotta love it
