good shot

They look so smooth, that I want to stroke the rails with my fingers :) Lovely shot, Harry. (Stole a few moments for commenting, before family arrives)

The traceries of metal in the sunlight are gorgeous; when our civilization is gone I wonder what those who come after will make of us from these remains? A wonderful shot, Harry.

Ok, I'm back and I'll try this comment again. (I'll copy it, in case the comment doesn't post.) I began with this a few days ago because it's typical of what you do with a difficult shot. You caught a 'haze'---if that's not too strong a word. There's a slight haze to the light, and it's gentle but very present; and it gives the shot a strangely abandoned feel. You caught it very clearly, even though it's not clear, itself. Add to that the fact that you caught this without a car or person in sight, and it feels like an abandoned outskirt of town, or even a remote village, rather than a huge sprawling city. Then you have the bleaching light on the tracks, which is beautiful: a shining geometry. Then the gritty detail in the road. And then the harsh shadows in the background---against the bushes, the trees and that RR car, sitting there abandoned. And a mournful light in the background, hinting that these tracks go on forever. Terrific shot; and you captured it with poetry and clarity. I looked up the date you shot this, and it was a Thursday---how in the world do you get these day shots with such an abandoned feeling? Wonderful sense of the recessive moments of a great city. Real poetry here. Beautiful.
