Description Train roll on, on down the line
Won't you please take me far, far away
Now, i feel the wind blow outside my door
I'm leaving my woman at home
My baby's gone
Tuesday's gone with the wind
My baby's gone with the wind
And i don't know where I'm going
I just want to be left alone
When this train ends, i'll try again...

-Tuesday's Gone
Lynard Skynard/Metallica



**Sand storm in Arizona. Post work done in Photoshop...duh

Wow, that's a beautiful shot. I love the yellow glow in the sky at the end of the train tracks. The only thing I wish is that the border wasn't black, and maybe white. It overpowers some of the fine detail and contrast. BUT STILL SWEET.

Thank you! I think you may be right about the border...I am working on another shot of the same tracks...I will definitely take this into consideration!

PS. Tip for the future: when doing a composition like this, it's really best to just have that convergence point in the middle of the frame (at least horizontally). That way, the viewer doesn't feel like he/she needs to lean to the side to get the whole picture.

Tuesday's Gone is my favorite Lynard Skynard song..seriously.
I like the perspective, and the lighting in this photo. The sky looks so beautiful.

Horizon to the mid left. Real building or edit? If my eyes arn't playing tricks on me, and it's actually a building, I could be redeeming 20 mooboy points soon.

lol..nope, this was taken on my way home from work during a sandstorm....that's all Indian Res out there. No buildings, but there is debris around the tracks...makes it look like a building though.

To me, it's like the rails lead you through wasteland, and into the light.

The path may be rough, but the light at the end of the track indicates hope and joy.

It's a very emotional pic bro. Hope and hardship in one single frame. Well done!

Absolutely love this piece, William... The infinity ahead is fascinating, but what speaks volumes to me are the the distant electric 'osts', they have this cross shape I relate to the cross(es) we carry in our head... and some hardship we all come to face at some point along the road...

The emphasis on the railroad is a strong message...

I love the post work you did, makes everything become so significant...



Well done, darlin'.

I really appreciate the feedback...really pick out the things that others may overlook, don't ya...especially the crosses. Granted, when I took the shot, they were just telephone posts, but when I started working on it in post, I thought of the cross as a symbol of dying daily or things that we have to overcomes...even ourselves. I also thought of the lighting...giving a sense to hope. As opposed to the tracks leading into darkness.

arumdamour In reply to mooboy [2007-07-13 03:50:10 +0000 UTC]

You did fantastic, darlin'. It coveys everything you say and at the same time leaves a great margin for one's own imagination to run wild. Isn't it what a picture is all about?


Take care.

I love the tones and the subject, maybe if the railroad was a bit more symmetrical it would be even better. Keep up the awesome work!

Yeah, I tried to get a shot of the tracks lined up, but it wouldn't happen. I sort of like them a little "off" though. I did another shot that is similar to this one and the tracks are dead straight.

I never see life as a map

I see it like Columbia did. An unexplored region with a thousand and one routes... All set in your mind All leading to different places. Most, a journey that one has to undertake on their own.

You never know where you should be... The best that we can do is guess and make the best of what we have... Right now, I'm craving a good long dreamless sleep. Preferably one that lasts for at least a week
