I love the smell of napalm in the morning.
The smell, you know that gasoline smell...
Smells like... victory.






Great shot Rich!

Very cool picture, and very lucky at the same time.

Love how many cool pictures spring up from time to time, My wife has an iPhone  4, and loves taking pictures wherever she goes, gets some great ones from time to time.
