Rail Power
My plan this morning was to drive out to Maumee Bay State Park and take some pictures. Driving South on 280, I made a detour hoping to find my way back to a railyard I'd spotted. After toodling around for a bit with no results, I was ready to get back on the highway and proceed with plan A.
Fortunately, instinct led me to keep following a road to its dead-end conclusion, stopping at train tracks with a line of brilliant yellow daisies adjacent to them.
I shot the daisies and power towers for about an hour, just enjoying the brisk September morning, with trains coming through about every 15 minutes.
Eventually, a train slowed and finally stopped. So I made some shots of it, and finally stumbled across this composition -- immediately knowing this was the shot I came for.
