OK. I hear you. Many thanks for all the comments. I am not going going to go into the specifics of my arrangements, but believe me when i say that I am very familiar with the parking facility, and that I am not worried about security. People with cars a lot more expensive than mine keep their cars there, and we have not had an incursion in all the years I have parked there. OK, there’s a first time for everything, but it won’t be my minivan that gets hit.

The heat, however, doesn’t care what part of the world my car comes from, and the majority opinion has convinced me to haul the big glass with me rather than leave it to roast in the car. Not that big a deal, it’s just inconvenient and a little more work than leaving it parked. My ultimate destination is week in Cape May for birding, which I am looking forward very much.

Thanks again to all who responded.

I've never given much thought to this, but now that my wife and I are looking to buy a home, it has really made me appreciate the talent that some photogs have. It is instantly apparent when an amateur produces the online ad, as opposed to a real pro. Some of the MLS ads have me wanting to just send money with the expectation the house will look like the photos show. Such is not the case, however. My wife, bless her heart, hasn't quite figured it out, and goes to each showing expecting the house to look like the ads. How long does it take, and what is the investment required to produce these results? I assume a FF (or larger) camera is necessary, and the lighting just WOW. I would like to attach a photo that illustrates what I mean but it would probably be against some rules or other.
