I posted a comment last night but Youtube was down for maintenance, sorry if it appears twice.

Great video, you really did a great job telling a story. Out here in Northern Nevada I love seeing your part of the country.

One question, was this shot in HD and then uploaded as a SD video with letterbox bars on the top and bottom?

Keep up the great work.

Yep. Shot in 720p wide, then converted to standard for upload to the tube!

@tartopfan thanks thats where I figured it was I stop in Birmingham alot when I come up to Alabama for some of my Antique picks I stay at a hotel next to the Birmingham Airport and I allways hear nonstop train horns close by and allways wondered where they came from I know Irondale is close to there if the hotel itself isnt in Irondale its the holiday Inn by the I-20/I-59 north split I sure enjoy just listening to the train horns at night I will open the window and just listen

I agree with everybody's statements in here, plus it goes to show that enjoying a hobby like this is no cause for alarm!
