Oddly, this photo is heavily doctored. Note the trees have been painted to the left side, and below the covered hopper.

Is it just me or can anyone else not see the attached images? Recently a few seemingly random messages have had images attached that I cannot see, but replies that indicate the contrary. Just curious.
