Description
So it's no secret that I am a serious rail fan, have been since I was a little boy and my Dad took me to see trains for the first time. I wanted to do a piece that conveyed the sense of loneliness that an engineer must feel when on the road and away from home in the middle of nowhere with only the sound of the diesel engine and the squeal of the tracks to keep him company (and the conductor, of course
)This is a shot I took in Winslow a few months ago....I so loved the look of big open sky with lazy clouds passing by.....on the lonely rails.
I hope you enjoy

HA well I survived the heat of Florida which was odd because they sold mittens in the store and it was so hot! And Cuba is even hotter then Florida. I think I can handle it. As for the jumping cacti I'll just stay away from them
