Westward

The last earthbound quartet of ties/sleepers settled among the rocky ballast at the east end of the Rocksprings trestle leads the eye westward along the elevated rails, parallel to Rocksprings Road and its familiar power poles, towards town and then the mountains of the Angeles National Forest, arrayed faintly along the skyline. A nice small feature of this east-to-west viewpoint is the quirky little cluster of dirt roads around the base of the nearest power pole :-)

 

Camera: Eho Baby Box (Nr. 182, 1932-1939, with Eho-Duplar 50mm f/11 lens). This tiny (www.flickr.com/photos/inspiredphotosdotcom/5585467090/in/...) half-frame 127-film German box camera is similar in size to its 1930s American counterpart, the Kodak Baby Brownie.

 

Film: Kodak Verichrome Pan 127 (expired 1972), developed in Arista Liquid Developer for 5:45 minutes @ 68 degrees, and scanned with an Epson V600 scanner.
