Somewhat disturbingly this is not the first time that I've lain down on railway lines. For those of you who are wondering, there is also a point in my life, now almost lost in the mists of time, where I have chased a train with a banana in my upraised fist. It was while doing said chasing of train that my wife first saw me. Ah youth.
I am a confirmed and certifiable nutbar with a penchant for skulls, bones, blood, guts, fire and anything slightly peculiar and mostly bizarre. I also...
@kerosene Thanks very much - I checked before I left the site and no trains went up my posterior, so I'm going to assume that I got away with it ;) @kwind Thanks very much - most of the lines around here are now unused...except this one...maybe I shouldn't have lain down on it...
@redy4et Thanks very much - I have stone marks :( @maggiemae Thank you kindly - "somewhat uncomfortable" is a bit of an understatement...the things we do.
This is uncomfortable and fascinating to me. I have always loved trains, really love riding trains and yet whe I was ten I saw ask an in a pink dress hit by a train, and when I was 47 my nephew died walking in front of a train. I still love them, in that strange place that understands nothing is simple and all great loves must be complex
and thinking of life and
Feels like you took this shot immediately after your camera squashed by the train. I have two laaaaaandscape in a row in my hope page. Rather interesting.
@brigette Well, it was nice to have a lie down... @annied Thank you - the view the other way wasn't so good though because I was in it @dide Thanks very much - what can I say...I like low... @yaorenliu I'll pop over and have a look...
Well worth the risk! Fav - although you might have draped a few dead animal over the rails to signify the cost to other species of human progress... or a giant skull at the vanishing point as a symbol of what lies in store for us all.. or both!
I love railroads ---- for the love of our art sometimes it's well worth the risk to get the shot. We just all need to be very careful when doing so - I have laid down on tracks before to get that shot and the outcome was wonderful but I did have to kick myself later for trying it (just a little bit).
@pasttheirprime There is, and it involves twins. That should get you wondering even more ;) And thanks very much @spanner Thanks very much :) @gracefullyetched Luckily most of the tracks around here are now unused, or very seldom so in this case...besides which, it was nice to have a lie down and amused me greatly to pretend to be a damsel in distress for 5 minutes of my day ;) @yrhenwr Thanks you kindly good sir, but be careful what shots you wish for. I've been having strange thoughts lately...more so than usual. @maree_sanderson I'm sure there must be something dead in amongst all those stones....and thanks very much @joansmor Thank you kindly ;) @365projectorgsebgritt Physically this is about as low as it goes...mentally, it's a completely different story ;) @nicoleterheide Thank you very much :) @dibzgreasley Thank you kindly, most appreciated...and yes, best to leave the banana alone ;) @mastermek Thank you kindly - that tree is a bit...odd... @alinz The entire story involves not only a banana and a train, but a 1971 mini and twin girls. Wonder on... ;) @deliad I hope you're not calling me a peanut? ;)
@radiogirl Thank you very much :) @northy Thank you and no, best not...it didn't survive the day though... @vignouse Thank you kindly good sir. @rachelwithey Thanks very much, truth be told I just wanted a lie down... @carla42 I take my life in my hands for your viewing pleasure... @overalvandaan I hope not...if there is it means someone else is using my smooth moves ;) @gamelee I checked and there were no trains stuck in my posterior so I can only assume I was facing the right way @lynnilou Steady now, I'm a married man. @jack4john Thankin'-you-so-I-am @pistache I'll do (almost) anything...

Makes me really love your title
That was "a lady in a pink dress"
@annied Thank you - the view the other way wasn't so good though because I was in it

@annied That happens occasionally.
@spanner Thanks very much :)

@lynnilou Steady now, I'm a married man.
@jack4john Thankin'-you-so-I-am

@nikkilee I ended up marrying the recipient of the banana so the story is ongoing...
