Day 175 of 365: "Train Tracks!!"

I tend to avoid shooting train tracks. They've become a very cliche' subject matter. People love them as the leading lines create a sharp perspective towards the horizon. They look rustic and gritty and pretty cool. Seniors love love.

And everybody shoots them. That's usually why I don't.

But tonight I saw these tracks going over the Fox River, just beyond the dam by the paper mill. Something about that part of town felt so utilitarian to me I had to shoot it, especially with the Veterans Memorial bridge in the background. I shot this in Kaukauna, a small town where I'm from. Lately, I've been finding so many nuggets of awesomeness in a few small locations, I had to take a few quick shots in some wonderful late afternoon light.

In the end, the black and white treatment for this was an afterthought. Once again, it was almost tormenting picking between color vs. black and white. But I quickly fell in love with this and tried to give it an Ansel Adams feel to it. I'm pretty happy with it!

And train tracks! I mean, really!! :)

i thought this track was dissused so thought nothing of "trespassing".... as i walked along the path by the line it turned out that it was in active use... ohh well.

Fantastic weather and a nice lazy day with nothing in particular to do. Went out for a nice drive to get some photos and just went where the roads took me. Found a nice little spot by some train tracks as the sun was going down.
