Description
Captured just outside Walvis Bay in Namibia in March this year!
Although these tracks are well used and the rail system in Namibia is very important for the transport of goods to and from the harbor in Walvis Bay, the tracks disappearing into 'nothingness' gives me a feeling of desolation - of going nowhere slowly!!!!
Thanks for the click and have a wonderful Wednesday!
Hugs, Carin xx

It does look very barren. Great capture though. :)

Wonderful shot!

What an endless mood... A rail track to any place and nowhere. Fabulous long view with emptiness to create a very strong mood.

Wonderful view--they seem to go on forever!!

Bella foto. Effettivamente da' l'idea che i binari vadano a finire nel nulla . Beautiful photos. Actually from the idea that the tracks are cramming into nothingness

Love how the pebbles and tracks contrast with the dry dirt. Great texture and composition. Well done!

Wow, very desolate, looks quite sad.

Stellar clarity, colors, DOF and perspective depicted in this wonderful shot of the tracks, as they disappear into infinity, Carin! Are those tracks typical of South African engineering? As far as railroads are concerned here in the USA, there are wooden crossbeams between pairs of tracks.

What a powerful diagonal, great!!

It looks to be a long way to anywhere. Very dramatic capture.

This is fantastic! Really top notch! I just read the novel "Desolation Road" which is a brilliant novel...involving a railway (among other things) on Mars. For some reason, this shot really recalls that image! It's bleak and beautiful and yeah, those tracks seem to go on for ever and ever! Super perspective, and I love the dusty red color! It is very Martian in a way, which is great!

superlative landscape (trackscape?)!!!!

I like this, Carin. Very effective lines of direction. I'm sure there must be wooden "ties" holding the rails together. They're just covered up with rock and sand. So, the feeling I get when viewing your photo is: "I'm thirsty!" :~)
