I have always liked the view of this one railroad crossing. It always seems to appear busy, even minus the train. The tracks run right by a feed mill, and then across the street is a chemical, fertilizer company. I guess the only thing I would like to see added to this would be a train coming towards me. Oh yeah, that would do it.
I have taken a photo on the tacks with a train coming towards me while I was in Wales. Fortunately, the train wasn't going very fast as it was a steam train and I pulled off three shots before getting onto the platform. Meanwhile the station master was getting a little panicked that I was the last one off the track... but I had to get my shot. :)
To me it looks deserted. I've never ever thought of taking a picture of railroad tracks..must keep my eyes open for them. I've pictures of train stations when we were in vacation but never thought them interesting enough for a picture on 365..
I like your picture probably because of the buildings on both sides..they look interesting to me.
I love looking down train tracks like this too. Before we moved to PA we lived across the street from train tracks. If I had been doing 365 there, I definitely would have gotten a train coming down the track shot! I like the b/w here- gives it a deserted feeling in a way.
Awesome perspective, Rick! You words tell a whole story about this spot, and this photo captures a whole world that I suspect is disappearing - which makes your processing so, so spot on.
I think this makes a great location for a shoot, I can imagine quite a few themed shots that can be taken here. Great shot, lines and vanishing point (a new term I learnt in my course on Monday :))
