One night of a train's life. Photo

Photographer’s Note

Abandoned train carriage near by abandoned Saltair resort. Yo may see top of this resort on the right side of this photo. This resort is "cursed" - it burnt to the ground several times since 1893, and built again.
Propane lamp inside the car, a little bit of flashlight outside. You almost may see the mountains in the background, behind the trees.

I can only say: two thumbs up for you! You take the composition, the lighting, the colour etc very well. Your story make me even curious. Why is the resort "cursed"? Thanks for sharing..

this is a very good photograph eugene
the only thing it misses are grains of a very fast film..( it's a little too neat for my liking)
but the overall atmosphere created here is pretty incredible.
brilliant handling of the lighting here
take care
