I'm not much of a fan of too much post processing or digital filters, but vintage vignette seemed to work for this pic.

It's a bit apocalyptic, Thomas, but you don't seem concerned! I'm also reminded of a quote from legendary Texas populist politician, Jim Hightower, who said: There's nothing in the middle of the Road but yellow stripes and dead armadillos. Add Thomas to the list! I like it. CaliforniaJed

Although, with the ease of post proc...
