Westbound at Sunrise
I first conceived this shot about 6 weeks ago. A train coming out of the rising sun, right over the tracks. I just needed some cooperation from the railroad. CP runs, at most, 7 westbound trains a day through here.....2 having a chance to be around at sunrise. Expecting them to hit the 5 minute window when the sun is in the right place proved to be a little too much; the closest being a passage 20 minutes before sunrise. So, for the fun of it, I put that train into the sunrise shot...just to see. This would be 235 at Mile 51 of the Galt Sub...if it happened. Again, this is a doctored image. But we'll try again in the spring and see what happens. I kind of like the effect.
