    LOL - OOoohh - lookee at the airplane! ...

    I'm asking for the purposes of photoshoots, actually. (Question a photog. asked me who would like to do some shoots there.)

    You are right, though, when I'm doing a widowmaker, making sure I don't have the sun in my eyes or, heaven forbid, some sweat go in my eye, is very important. LOL (Once, a little snot dribbled down under my nose and I was so embarrassed I just left for the day...)

    There is a gym here in Tucson with a horrid skylight - right over the BB bench area - nearly impossible to see to rack the bar at the wrong time of the day. I've seen others that work just fine and seem to allow light, but little heat inside. These are cool: http://www.consumerenergycenter.org/...ws_future.html
