Q: If a train of 98 cars is traveling at 60 MPH and an automobile is overtaking it at 72 MPH, will the automobile pass the train in time to line up the lead engine with the mountains behind it and get the classic yellow train engine/New Mexican landscape/perfect-clouds-in-the-sky backdrop photo?
A: Yes. And at the decisive moment, there will also be a perfectly placed blurry telephone pole to ruin the shot. So here's a "window rolled down at 72 MPH, sitting backwards with back pressed against the dashboard leaning out the window shooting the train which is now sliding back into the distance" shot to kick off the Spring Break 2010 set.

This is a nice example of how the 300 mm focal length compresses perspective. There are a couple of kilometers between where I stand and the most distant buildings.
York Minster is England's largest medieval cathedral and almost impossible to do justice to. It has an awesome presence that cannot fail to impress.
Uniquely the cathedral was spared the ravages of the Civil War that decimated the ancient art of most English cathedrals and churches, and thus posseses the largest collection of medieval glass in Britain throughout most of it's vast windows.
Sadly this fortune was not matched by the Minster's vulnerability to fire which has ravaged the building in 3 major outbreaks, the worst in 1829 when a madman set fire to the precious medieval furniture of the choir, destroying both it, the organ and the high vaulted ceiling of the eastern half of the church. Only 11 years after this tragedy a careless workman accidentally set fire to the nave roof, which also lost it's vault. Both roofs were rebuilt in replica, but a further fire caused by lightning strike in 1984 destroyed the south transept roof (rebuilt 4 years later).
Most medieval cathedrals were provided with stone vaulted ceilings precisely to avoid the problems suffered here, but York's builders found that building on such an unprecedentedly large scale brought limitations, thus all the Minster's high ceilings had to be built of wood in imitation of stone. An Achilles' Heel, but a beautiful one!
