I have not been out at sunset very often this year. This is just a little west of St Albert and is a revisit to the location of an earlier shot.
I've had little or no time to get out and enjoy all the fun that the wet and the fog bring to a camera. All this glorious fog and no time drove me nuts so I grabbed about 15 minutes this afternoon and wandered down the tracks.
Part of the Little Toby trail between Brockway, PA and Ridgway, PA. The trail is 18 miles long through mostly wooded, peaceful, country. It follows Little Toby Creek, a branch of the Clarion River. Many forms of wildlife can be seen along the trail from Bald Eagles to black bears.

There are four Anti-Tank Blocks set either side of the old railway line, which was once Hellesdon Railway Station (Opened 1882, closed 1952) These cocrete obstacles were formed with timber shuttering, some have vertical rails, these would have formed part of Norwich outer defence line.

The Cumberland Valley Rail Trail runs down the middle of its namesake-the Cumberland Valley of Pennsylvania, between the South Mountain and Blue Mountain ridges on the eastern flank of the Appalachians. Most of the trail runs fairly straight through open farmland, with a few dips into woodlands and some limestone outcroppings.
At the Newville trailhead, where PennDOT runs an instrument calibration facility and maintains a measured course on the trail, a half-mile is paved with asphalt and cement. On the western end, the improved section of trail ends at Shippensburg Township Park The right-of-way does continue into the Shippensburg University campus but it is unimproved, unsigned and includes a steep and dangerous road crossing. There are a few local eateries on the opposite side of the campus at very end of the right-of-way.
B&W Photo of some stairway railings on the outside of my fraternity house. Shot on my Canon AE-1 35mm SLR.
There was an extra day this year! 2-29-2020! I spent my extra day photographing graffiti.
Left the house today and it was warm and nice out. By the time I got to my spot it was windy, cloudy and cold, and me without a jacket. Had my spot pretty much alone for the 4-5 hours I was there. A few trucks drove through etc.. With the wind I had a hard time telling when a freight was coming as I couldn't hear them. I can usually hear the whistle from either above or below my spot, so I know which way they're coming from. Still don't know on which track.
There's 4 tracks, 3 close by and one much further down the hill. If I stay towards the middle between rails 2-3, and 1, I can move back and forth pretty quickly, they're about 1/4 mile apart. But certain times of the day I'm going to be shooting one rail or the other into the sun unless I run, and I'll be running in desert sand. Not as easy as it would seem. So some shots I do my best to edit in post so the backlighting isn't f-ing up my shots.
Anyway, as always, I saw some cool pieces today, got out of the house, and had some fun.
Thanks to all the writers, keep doin' what you do!!
