Train Tracks

Train Tracks

I stumbled onto this photo. I was searching for a scenic shot waiting for the magic hour to happen. I found a beautiful stream with lots of green vegetation and a hill side that gave me the upper hand to take pictures from. While I was waiting for some time to pass, I started walking the dirt path that was used for runners and walkers. Next to the path was a train track that was separated by some barbed wire. While I was walking, I came across a section of the barbed wire that had a large section missing. So I went through and walked up to the train tracks and started walking the line. I came across a section that was covered with some shadows by some nearby trees due to the way the sun was setting. I started talking to the train tracks telling it I wanted to capture the picture of what I saw. The shadows, the dark colors, the way the rocks were multi colored, I wanted to capture it. I started taking several pictures, making several camera adjustments. I glanced at a few shots and none of them looked like image I was seeing. It seemed like I blew my opportunity. I went home to look at the pictures before deleting them and realized I captured 3 shots of what I saw. I knew I only needed one and deleted the rest.
