(2,451 posts)The freight train came through twice a day, whistle crossing bout a
quarter mile north....
If you follow the near field (left of center) you'll see a darker line of green
which is actually the raised railroad bed...at the top of that rise, to the left
of the tree standing by itself you can see dark strips which are the rails
themselves...I was trying to make the point of how technology and Nature
don't necessarily have to be at odds with each other...

Have a nice Sunday!

(4,495 posts)I do see what you mean!! So sorry I missed it. Its just that the railroad tracks in my area are really out there and dont fit in with the beautiful scenery.

I'm a larger fan of the sublime rather than beauty

of new railroad ties...

The early bird doesn't always catch the worm!

(2,451 posts)I never took a picture of the train...
Viewing it was actually quite jarring,
as it appears to be sitting in the middle of the field.
Sort of like the freighter sitting in the desert in
"Close Encounters"...
*A reminder that the too early worm, is the one that's caught by the bird!
