I haven't taken a shot of any tracks in ages! (Which is weird, as I live right by a railway line...)

Here's one from (almost) two years ago:

[Leonie Mogridge]

You have some great track shots Shirley.

[katy]

@manek43509 This is so cool, I love the motion from the train and B&W is perfect!

@luka365 Very cool, sooo much to look at and I really like the light reflection on the tracks.

[Shirley Jess]

[Shirley Jess]

@hasselhotch I think it is perfect and awesome in it;s own right... I really love the processing and tones, as it gives it an time feel!

@shirljess Shirley, this is the Glenfinnan Viaduct, on the West Coast of Scotland north of Fort William. It was used fairly extensively in the Harry Potter film series. You can take steam trips from Fort William up to Mallaig - it's about an hour's trip along some of the most beautiful rail line in the world.

@shirljess About that railroad selfie by grammyn... did you know she is my sister? And that shot was taken on the tracks in Oakesdale just below my house... yet I do not have one single railroad shot in my entire project! Apparently I need to get busy with my tracks! :)
