I have this competition outside of my house every time it snows. . .will the car get buried by the plow before I get it cleared and out on the road or not!  It's exciting but not very artistic.   rolleyes.gif

WOW! Very interesting! Looks like they'll have no problem maintaining these things fro several weeks. And it's also good to see that they let that Eagle family get some privacy at night...

<Eagles> Click the hourly times on the right-hand side of the picture to see a 24 hour view of the "action." I found that link quite easily at <this page>. Can't you see the last link there? dntknw.gif Perhaps you don't read Japanese? eek2.gif After all, that's your set of links. And you said look for the little camera icons... Just followng your instructions. dntknw.gif tease.gif
