Tracks, Trains, Mines and Signs
I went out for a short drive a few mornings ago to the train line nearest my place, and I got a few cool photos as the sun rose. Later in the day I drove considerably further to see if I could find any mine trucks or anything like that to photograph and though I did not succeed in seeing any actual trucks I still got some photos I was happy with.
I have a little obsession with locks on gates. and the sun rising behind them only makes them look better. I waited for ages in between trains and madly took photos as they passed. I think in the hour I was there there were about four trains.
The road signs looked rather nice too in the morning light.
Even fences can look quite good.
I went home and had breakfast before heading back out on another photo hunt.
I got some photos of a water truck spraying the roads in the mine to stop them blowing away.
And more locked gates.
Do you ever go photo hunting?
I usually walk but it was a bit far that time at least it was for the last lot?
Which photos are your favourites?

Oh, I love the last two photos! Just something about the colours makes them look so cool. :)
ReplyDeleteMy favourites are definitely the train ones.. could be related to how long I spent on them.
DeleteOh oh I love the lock on gate ones too!! YOU ARE SO DEDICATED THO! :D I have never gone anywhere specific for a photo. :P Unless my backyard. I kind of think it'd be awesome to try someday. Your photos are so endlessly beautiful. :')
ReplyDeleteThanks, I have another post in the making of the trip I took to pick my little sister up from a place three hours away that took me more than six to get to... because I stopped soooooo many times to take photos... but I got a lot of good ones. And I started really early just so I could do that.
DeleteHaving an obsession with locks on gates is totally healthy, especially if they're old and rusty, and look like they're keeping secrets...
ReplyDeleteI was going to say the first two (locks and sunrise) photos were my favourite, but then I saw the ones of the trains and that mining truck, and decided they're all good. :)
I do go photo hunting sometimes but mostly just around our property. It's definitely rewarding though, and it sounds like you're quite experienced. :)
Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment. I find even new shiny locks fascinating, but all old things are just begging to be photographed. I used to just photograph things wherever I was, but now that I have a car and license I go out other places more which can be so rewarding.
