bring comfort
heart vibrations

I like trains. I grew up in an area of trains...not within "seeing"
distance...but within hearing distance.
The train whistle and the chug going down the tracks
was ALWAYS a comforting sound.
I still LOVE to hear it!
I love trains as well and I live in train country but I never get bored of them!!
ReplyDeleteBeautifully composed photo done in the B&W...
Mountain Retreat
Black and White is perfect for this shot! wonderful!
ReplyDeleteMy father worked for the railways over here, so of course I loved you picture (I would have loved it anyhow).
ReplyDeleteTrains bring out the little kid in all of us. Great shot.
ReplyDeleteI like trains too. A fine b&w!
ReplyDeleteI like trains too! Doesn't everyone? :-)
ReplyDeleteWe used to play by the tracks all the time when we were kids.
Great picture!!
Trains!! Looks like another Dash-9 unit. I love me some trains now...As for butterflies?? Cant never get a decent shot of the little buggers..
ReplyDeleteI live within hearing distance and I love the sound, especially in the middle of the night!
ReplyDeletethat's a wonderful shot
It was a surprise to see this...a nice one! Your barn kreation is great...you really have a knack for this art form...and the B&W site is wonderful. I love B&Ws.
ReplyDeleteOh, the Norfolk Southern. One of our favorite RR's. We have a favorite place in Gallitzin, Pa not far from Altoona, Pa where there is a B&B right beside the NS tracks. You can watch trains 24/7 if you want to( and if have enough money ). Have you checked out Gary's blog-"Steam Across the Trestle"? http://steamacrossthetrestle.blogspot.com/ It's all about trains. We're loyal train fans. Love your picture.
ReplyDeleteThis is a terrific photo. It's nostalgia of the highest order. What a great pic! It will go over with lots of people. Trains are winners every time.
ReplyDelete(My dad's first job was as a RR machinist back during steam engine days. He got laid off during the depression and always yearned to return to railroading. Had many RR friends over the years.)
Wanted to ask you to stop by my blog and cast a vote. Look under "Department of Decisions."
ReplyDeleteI just love train photos. I read somewhere that train buffs call this engine a "catfish" because of the white marks that resemble whiskers. The grandkids overheard me telling my husband that so now every time they see one they holler "there's a catfish"!
ReplyDeleteThanks for mentioning the B&W blog!
I grew up being able to hear the trains every day and night and have always loved the sounds - I agree that they are comforting.
ReplyDeleteGreat capture Kerri
ReplyDeleteThat train emerging from behind the trees is perfect in black and white! I clicked on link of the barn and enjoyed seeing the elongated side of it parallel to the mountains in the background --a perfect shot!
