After the derailment.

This is one of three images posted of the aftermath of the

Burlington Northern Santa Fe derailment on June, 30, 2010, in

Wayzata, Minnesota. Your comments are welcomed. Thanks for

taking the time to respond and to connect with me.

I guess these shots are not easy to take because of the great mess there must be when such events happen. In this image I think the lighting and the cloud of dust diffusing it are what makes it interesting, together with a well thought composition. The workman in orange in the background is a welcome bonus, since strong colours naturally attract the eye. All the best!

Thanks for your comment and your time, Mauro.  I agree with you completely.  This was a real mess.  I didn't get down to the wreckage until 6-7 hours after it happened.  A Burlington Northern Sante Fe coal train derailed.  You are looking at a coal hopper all torn apart.  There were piles of coal and debris all over along with bent and ripped out rail.  Mauro, thanks again for looking at this image and taking the time to comment.  Regards.  Larry
