Rail crossing at sunset · **1 Like**

A few I almost forgot about.... a sunset, a railroad, and an ice storm, sounds like a good time to take some pictures.

Great light on the track in #1, beautiful shot.

Thanks Bob, that little bit of lens flare bothers me on that one.

Very good series Norman!

Thanks for sharing this great series. My favorite is #3. I keep going back to it .With the lighting and sky, it sort of has the feel of the peace before the storm. It ranks up there with my favorites of the year.

Yes, the lighting in the first is perfect.

VERY nice, Norm! Love the first one especially (and the little bit of flare doesn't matter). Great light, a dramatic sky, and a nice wintry scene that could be either peaceful or ominous depending on your own mood :-)

Great set of images. #1 has a quiet drama and balance to it that keeps me coming back. Thanks.

One word describes #1 for me...WOW!....as if painted with heavenly brush

Really like the light on the rails of the last one (like you the flare just takes off the edge for me on the first one).

Never the less a fine set of images.

The first one taken before the sun went down, has the colour, but everyone has that flare in it. Must have ben a reflection off the tracks or something.

Very cool Norm - they have a ghostly, spooky feel. Super job.

Lovely set. The lighting is fantastic. If I had to pick a fav it would be the shed. Love it
