   so much to explore in this image, the tracks and poles gradually leading the eye into the frame.
   perfect capture, emilio.
   have a great weekend.

      Thanks, Ken. Or is it Agnes? Your words say Ken but your eyes say Agnes! 😉

         the gravatar is a self portrait by my elder daughter.
         maybe its time to change it, to cut the confusion 🙂

            Shoot! And here I thought I had yet another female admirer. I’ll let my wife know she needn’t worry!

   Thanks, Paula. Joe thought the same thing. I’m not even sure what constitutes an infrared shot!

   Too bad I can’t listen to the song now (will check it out later). Emilio, this is a superb shot. It looks almost as infra red.

   So much to love about this photo … including the subtle but ever so obvious to me shadows.

      OK, how can you be subtle but obvious? I know it is possible to THINK you are being subtle when being obvious (as when I’m being overly familiar with my wife thinking I’m subtle yet it’s obvious what’s on my mind). 😉 But anyway I’m glad you like it, Laurie!

   This is a great shot Emilio, I like it a lot! The tracks, the boxcar and the surroundings make a great and unique composition! I think this was actually one of the first photos I saw first time I visited your blog… long time ago. 🙂

      Elina, what a memory. But it wasn’t THAT long ago! I started in late November of last year. This was posted in December at http://emiliopasquale.wordpress.com/2013/12/10/a-word-a-week-photography-challenge-tracks/. But I really am glad that you’ve stuck around almost a year! When I first posted this shot I was experimenting with split tones. I now prefer straight black and white! But looking back, maybe that first post was a touch better. There was more contrast, I think and the blacks looked richer. Darn! Now I have more playing to do!

   Those ghost trees really add to the abandoned atmosphere!

      Thanks, Patti! Though abandoned, this was not really a spooky feeling place. Ghost trees, maybe but no sense of a ghostly presence!

       Thanks, Joe. It was not. Just a very bright sun and very little color in the area. Mostly beige and black!
