Railroad at Pendleton, South Carolina, 2005 II

Thanks, Afshin. I took this very early in the morning, and so the contrast is muted, as are the colors, due to the soft light.

This picture is very evocative for me. This is my childhood - the old lineside buildings, the crunch of ballast underfoot, the vegetation creeping in - I can almost smell the oil on the sleepers (ties). This conjures up, for me, the whole atmosphere of the old rural railway lines.

Thanks, Chris.  I just happened to see your comments--five months later.
