This is another image from my visit to the local rail yard last year. You can see a previous composition from the same location here. It was one of those days where I knew I was going to pass something interesting on and errand, so I decided I would grab my gear and tack on 30mins to my commute. I wonder how much memory my brain is wasting trying to efficiently plan photo errands? I should formalize a documentation strategy so I can save space for things like remembering to mow the lawn.

This is outstanding, great colour and dof.
I always figured the lawn would still be there to cut tomorrow or the day after, hoping one of my kids would do it. :) Photo outings are so much more fun.
Hey Justin, cool shot. I like the low angle on it. And don’t worry about the lawn. :)
