Happy Saturday everyone! No sunrise for me today with nothing but grey skies around on the south coast. Potential for sunset later so keep your fingers crossed!
Days like this call for one from the archives, so here's one from a couple of months back. That misty morning at Corfe we managed so many compositions before the mist lifted, it was amazing! This one is taken from the tracks near Corfe Station.
I enjoyed a low perspective with the lines leading you though and the mystical castle sitting in the sky... kind of doesn't look real!

With every new tide, a fresh canvas is set where the local inhabitants can leave their trails. These tracks were discovered on one of the many sandy beaches uncovered at low tide on the Georges River. It looks like multiple species frequented here on this occasion.
i decided to add queen anne's lace to my wildflower garden. so i took a bucket and shovel to the nearest railroad. (isn't it interesting how this flower grows around all train tracks?). as i put shovel to ground, an older man walked toward me.
him: what are you doing?
me: digging up queen anne's lace for my garden.
him: you can't do that!
me: oh, is there an ordinance against this?
him: no, but that thing is a weed. you don't want it. it'll grow up all over your yard.
me: well, i think it's pretty.
him: fine, do whatever you want.
i think human perceptions are interesting. what's a flower versus a weed? what is beauty? what is kindness? we hold many different views. each day i see or learn something new.
Amtrak 682 crosses the Charles River and passes a track gang inspecting the switches of the approach to North Station.
this is a long exposure late evening shot of the frozen beach, I didn't notice the animal tracks until I downloaded it to the computer, I think they are a nice addition!
Well, I think that I am finished with my visit to Howell, Michigan. I guess I'll jump on the next train out of town!
I like the stories of the hoboes who road the rails in the dark days of The Great Depression. Traveling gave them hope. Maybe in the next town I'll find a job, a home, a sweetheart.........
A song from a movie about the romance of the rails is "Wish Me a Rainbow" from the movie, "This Property is Condemned." www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwXI14h3NqI
