i have not been out much this summer. maybe i am over worked and not enough sleep or not enough ideas. but from time to time i do get to explore. one morning on my way to delaware, i stopped at this railroad crossing. as you can see the sky was yellow as can be. i waited for the train to come but it didn't. i waited for someone to wait for the train but no one showed up. maybe this shot just worked without anyone or anything.

Chris, this is amazing. It is intricate and eloquent (I believe a novel could be written around this beginning). The lights and shadows are dramatic, and the lines and geometry are fabulous. Great eye. I guess it is better sometimes if the train never comes. :-)

I so....love this shot, Chris. Looks like a great opening scene of a novel with the first two lines being: "I waited for the train to come but it didn't. I waited for someone to wait for the train but no one showed up."
