End of the line

I have had a bit of a busy day today and no time to take photos, so this is another one for the 31 days of rust theme, which I took at Stockton a couple of days ago. This is near where the wreck is, but not sure if it was used as a rail line or a boat ramp. It leads to the Hunter River, but I don't think this line has been used for a while.

Thank you all so much for your lovely comments on my recent photos and for my 3D orb, rust photo yesterday. With your help it got onto the Trending Page.

I won't be able to catch up tonight as it is David's birthday today and we are off out with friends this evening.

its so hard some days to get that shot - I like this how the rails just lead off into the water

[Newbank Lass]

I like being lead by the track right down to the sea.

[Ethel]

You are doing do well at seeing even more rust. this composition works so well

[Eve Pulsater]

Lovely shot, great lines and a super title.

[tony gig]

Lovely textured shot, I wonder how many boats have gone down those rails.

[Annie D]

this is gorgeous Babs

[Lee Potter]

Love this Babs, great shot.

[Lee-Ann]

Great shot....love the tones & textures.

[Kane Arlow]

Great lines, you would have to hope the train is waterproof :)

[sally agnew]

Certainly seen better days, nice pov :-)

[dh (delena)]

Perfect for the rust theme.

[Brianna]

Gorgeous lines and POV! So lovely! x

[Rachel]

Great shot. I like how the tracks go down to the water. Weird place for a train to be heading...

[Pat Knowles]

That is looking so decrepit & old it's almost dropping to bits! I expect the sea water has helped it on its way...great rust theme photo Babs.

[Meredith McNay]

Great image.

[Kat]

Fantastic shot. Need to be careful when following those tracks! Happy Birthday to David. :)

[Andrew S]

Sorry to spoil everyone's train stories, but I would think this is the rails of an old slipway. A trolley runs on them to bring boats out of the water using a steel wire rope attached to a winch. The rope is unwound again to relaunch the boat.

[Joy Maguire]

no kidding it is the end of the line. I really like this

[Sue]

Ooops! Love this shot Babs.

[Gosia]

Wow, is it a river ?

[Diane]

Definitely the end of the line, good pov Babs.

[Jane Morley]

Beginning to think Australia is falling apart, another great shot. Hope Dave had a good birthday.x

[Molly]

I really like this composition, with the leading lines of the rails going into the sea, and the pieces of driftwood and detail of the shore. Fav.

[gloria jones]

Great pov, composition, textures.

[Peter]

Wonderful image Babs, lovely details,colours and Pov;)

[Denise fuller]

fabulous shot

[Paula W]

Great colour and texture in those rusty old rails. I like the way the old rails lead the eye to the water.

[Nancy]

Wonderful leading lines and the feeling abandonment.

[Gillian]

Fabulous leading lines! And lovely rusty textures.
Maybe try a lower pov next time you visit?

[April]

Tracks into the water--very interesting and thought provoking!

[April]

Enjoy David's birthday celebration!

[Marnie]

Oooo, love that rust. What a great shot Babs, fav.

[Kathie]

That's a wet end.

[Babs]

@gosia Yes Gosia it is the Hunter river.

@debilz @newbank @ethelperry @creampuff @tonygig @annied @lpot1985 @leestevo @karlow75 @hermann @dh @lilminimonka @888rachel @happypat @wanabe @darthkitty @almondjoy1 @sioux @gosia @dianeburns @dolphin @seattlite @pcoulson @denisefuller @paulaw @nanm @kwiksilver @april16 @golftragic @kathiecb @chimfa Thanks to all of you for your interest in this photo. It was low tide on the river and I only got my feet a bit wet, but they were pretty muddy though. Andrew @tomtom had the answer as to what this was used for. This is what he said:

Thank you Andrew. We always learn something on 365.
Thanks too to April and Jane. David had a great birthday.

[Annie D]

@onewing hope David had a wonderful Day

[Marnie]

@onewing Drat, I prefer the submerging train story …

[Tracey]

Wonderful shot love the rusty leading lines

[Deb]

Great leading lines Babs. I liked the idea of the train stories too. Gave it mystery...still terrific though.

[Yao RL]
