And a darn fine sunset or sunrise it is. Looks a lot like one of the many reservoirs in the greater Dallas area. Though of course it could be almost anywhere in the flat part of the US. ---

OK, public service announcement (assuming I wasn’t the only one that didn’t know). See the black box in the top left corner? In actual streetview, this also has three dots in a vertical line. Click on that, and one of the options is **Share or embed image** ; click on that and a box will pop up - it has the twitter logo, the facebook logo, and a URL with the option **Copy link** - click on that. Paste the link into the message. Now, when you do that, all that appears in the preview screen is a big ugly old logo - don’t be mislead, it’s fine. You don’t get to see the proper streetview, as above, until you post the reply. j ---
