 Best of 2006? Not really. I already entered all my best in other challenges. Sure this is one of my better ones, but not really the "best".

It's an Amish buggy, but there really aren't any Amish people in Forest Hill. You can find them maybe 45-60 minutes away (by car...not buggy). This is at a nursery & greenhouse place we like to visit. I had noticed the buggy the previous week when we went to buy some flowers, but didn't have my camera with me. So I was out driving around with my camera, I was in the area and I decided to stop by. It was fortuitous timing as those clouds were thickening in the background.

very nicely done. i appreciate the amount of detail you were able to bring out in the clouds, given the nature of the exposure.
