No it is in a greenway tunnel that runs under one of the roads here in Raleigh. It is perfect for this kind of stuff

Love going there as it changes every time I go.
We had a nasty freezing rain last Sunday in Toronto, which left lots of homes without power, tons of trees broken under the weight of the ice and blocking roads everywhere. On the bright side, it provided some interesting photo opportunities.
Seen below are the ice formations on the underside of an outdoor BBQ installed in a local park. Anyone up for a Christmas picnic?

Finally been out to get some new material. Woke up to a lovely bit of fog, so headed off to a local National Trust site, Clent Hills and grabbed some shots before the sun burned it all away. It was pretty cold though!

Great Egret
The background was not ideal for wildlife photography ---I was in a parking lot, but hey, it was a Great Egret that allowed me to get pretty close for very nice set:

Your location might not have been the best, but you made the best of what you had. I quite like the dark background against the white.
Thanks, Apple fanboy: I shot this with a 70-200 f4 --- don't remember if I had the 1.4 TC mounted, so that made my job a bit easier in addition to him allowing me to get surprisingly close as these birds are very skittish, in my experience.
Looks like one of those corridors from Hogwarts.
I've been playing with B & W today. It is another of those photography skills isn't it. Deciding what works best in monochrome.
This one certainly does look nice in B & W (to my eyes anyhow).
Got myself an ND filter for Xmas.

What's the best way to correct for the color cast in PP? Anyone?

If you have photoshop you can create a photo filter layer to do the job/there's an auto tone corrector that'll do the job for quick.
If you shoot in RAW this can easily be adjusted in a respective RAW editor.
Outside of photoshop most photo editing apps have tone correction tools.
I only have Lightroom. Tried playing with WB settings. Manually even. And with the eye dropper. No success.
Can't find anything "neutral" toned in the pic to use as my reference point.

Yeah, that's not really Lightroom's job.
This is what I managed in Photoshop:
All I did was blitz it with green and twist around the brightness a little to adjust for the colour tone changes I made.
Photoshop Elements is available in the App Store and incredibly cheap given its feature set, I highly recommend you move to that for editing over Lightroom.
Your link did not post anything.
I've tried the trial version of Elements and didn't really like its workflow, compared to Lightroom, although I do want to get it for Panoramas, so I may go that route eventually.
Thanks!
