Day going down at the Fort Madison, Iowa depot

Didn't expect to wind up here, and especially after dark, didn't even have my tripod along! But when I saw that sky, I had to try, if only to remember how sweet it was to be standing out by those tracks again at the end of a day. Yep, this shot is soft and noisy, but what the heck. : )

 

Amtrak's Southwest Chief had disappeared to the west on it's way to California, a freight was crossing the Mississippi bridge from the east, God was in His Heaven and lighting the sky with magnificence . . . and all seemed right with the world! It was one of those moments when I had the sense to remember that life is good . . . really good! Funny just how often I remember that by a railroad track! : )
