Bill was interested in all sorts of railroad things at this museum. Fortunately, I found fun things to look at, and nice people to talk to. :D

Very nice capture! The sound of running water makes me go!
Nice patina.
Great capture!!
Things That Make Us Go.....Hmmm. Looks like a section of rail on a very beat up table. Except there are no holes for the spikes. Hmmm.
wonderful lighting and colors
One of your very special Photos. Beautifully done. It can be hard on such dark objects. :)
Classified by weight per yard. Interesting shot. Either a rail reinforcment for heavy freight and locomotives, or part of a switch. However, I can't figure out the rolled part at the top of the rail end. More fun train/rail photos? Keep up the good work! :-)
Such wonderful as always !!!!
I love railroad museums. Wonderful capture.
Wow, Tara..... I didn't know you were into Heavy Metal!
Sorry - couldn't resist!
I really do love how you home in on the wonderful details of commonplace things. This has form, texture, wonderful lines and light. Very elegant!
Superb capture Tara. God bless.
There is something so satisfying about the solidity and strength of this.
some people mentioned that this could be a few things, because whatever it could be, something is missing or added, etc: A mysterious but clearly Rail object. A beautiful shot. You always turn shadow into an aesthetic statement, and it plays beautifully into the striking lights here. And the deep reddish-brown tones. "Heavy Metal," as Rod says...A capture of mass, weight and 'presence'. This could be fairly small, but in the capture, it's massive. And, oddly, it looks a little like a train-car itself: I mean, if you use imagination. A strange and beautiful capture, with mystery, and big, big weight and presence. You made art out of this. (I'd think that a rail museum would offer you lots of nooks and cranny's and design elements to go crazy over. I've never been to one, of course; but I'd imagine you'd find a lot to dig into, while Bill is studying history and actual trains...)
