Description

Believe it or not, the green plant being supported so easily by these one hundred year old steam engine wheels is a very hearty and healthy tomato plant. At first I thought it was a weed. But no, ...the tough stem comes right up through the crushed stone walk way next to the engine (see the foreground at the bottom of this image). It deserved recognition. So, here it is! Bill Location: Atchison, Kansas.

Great shot. Contrast and colors are well captured. The "wheels" sure show the power of the Locomotive. Well done.

fascinating find! I'm always interested how things manage to grow in hostile places such as somewhere as bleak as a rock face or the top of a chimney!

This just reminded me of my tomato plants I've been trying to grow. For some reason, they just wilted away and died. Your capture here seems like these plants can stand the elements of a freight train, lol. Excellent shot. Aloha
