If you look closely you can see the switchback up over Petersburg pass, the road that connects NY to MA at the summit.

I agree! Beautiful skies and scenery! Nothing I love more than Volvoing down America's highways. Especially the Blue Ridge Parkway! I can't wait for my next trip! Isn't it The Bay City Rollers? I think I bought their records back in the 70s? June

I guess he is an Ocean State Roller now....
That’s smacnab with me, returning my engine crane, giving me a starter, and getting his SRS reset. We met ~1/2 way between Smallbany and Providence...ok, he had to drive a bit more than I. Also got to meet his awesome fiancé; he’s the third luckiest man in the World, behind me and Mike.
Those switchbacks sure are fun in a T5......zoom zoom zoom

It's like that dealer Promotional film I posted first in the thread I started. "T5 makes you feel so good" I really liked the 850 T5 part of the song. The 1950s first part was fine. What's better is doing it with a T6!abscate wrote: ↑18 Sep 2020, 04:52I guess he is an Ocean State Roller now....

Steve, can you try those two upside-down/lower hemisphere correct photos again in a new post? Sorry for the housekeeping intrusion.
I tried them but I think by the time they got to my hard drive, the EXIF data had been stripped.
I'm fairly certain this extension reads EXIF data as files land on the server, makes northern hemisphere corrections, then EXIF is stripped as they're copied to the forum image directory.
