What an incredible website! Excellent photographs...you're a professional, after all, but the subjects are very interesting. Haven't lived in Cambria County in 25 years, and haven't been up 'ere much in recent years. Missed the Potato Festival and Mountain Days, so the photos are much appreciated. Even the Warren Zevon reference was great.
