I like the pics. Thanks.

I found PA to be quietly eerie, and a fascinating place to visit. The night time ghost walk was an excellent experience, but I don't know if they still do it.

After Martin Bryant shot 35 or so innocent tourists and locals a few years back, I suspect this place may hold a few more ghosts, and maintain the eerie feel.
Cheers...and stay horizontal!
