Hi Hugh..long time..your story telling ability using still photography is quite getting into me..is inspiring and tempting too...using elements from the surrounding and creating something so descrpiptive makes it so special..this one a very well thought out theme..the three wise men eh ? :)

This is an interesting photo Hugh. The three people form sort of a triangle. The mist and the cool morning light (I'm guessing its morning) look very interesting in the background. I think I would like it even more if the poles were straight up and down though; they seem to be tilted slightly to the right.

I usually take the NE corridor home on weekends back to my folks house and always want to stop here to take some photos since it's so such a photogenic station.. What I like here is the trianglular shape the three men make and the lines all throughout the photo. You got the rails, the light posts, power lines, and the Turnpike. All really cool.

hello Hugh,

Makes me think of a painting of the belgian painter Paul Delvaux. He has a lot of trainstation-paintings , and also with the surrealistic touch.
greetings, inn

Hello Hugh,
just a quick look through the galleries to discover this little gem! I love the position of the three guys... some kind of future wise men? and the dim light surrounding them.. You can feel the cold somehow...I also like the echoo of the yellow floor on the left with the guy's backpack in the middle of the frame.. A very intimate photograph in a sense
