"Awful Good"

This is an Irish phrase whereby the word "awful" can mean "very" - in this case, "very good".

 

Seems to be appropriate for this scene, where an Aer Lingus flight makes its approach into O'Hare International Airport while KCSM 4526, a "Grey Ghost" AC4400CW, creeps over the hill on the approach to the Tower B-17 interlocking leading CPKC sand train 640.

 

I used an 18-55 mm lens for this shot and subjected the photo to significant cropping, which makes the non-focused nature of the subject stand out a little more (plus it would've been better if the train were closer). I'll need to use a telephoto lens for any future shots, but as it was my first time using this angle, I'll take it.
