Train Graveyard Photo

Photographer’s Note

Lying just outside the high Andean town of Uyuni is a dead end of a train track. Here are the remenants of another age, of a steam age.
Where once was a busy train line servicing the mining industry and ferrying goods and people to the coast, now is an unintentional memorial

This is just the kind of place that I like. A lovely composition very carefully done. There's enough rust here to keep Maria (sunny) happy for weeks, I should think :-)

Interesting composition. I'm sure this comes out pretty well also in B&W.

The low sun gives a fine glow to the rust here. And the background shows a very desolate place.

What a paradise for a rust/industry/train/trainyard lover like me!!!! And you have taken very interesting and well composed shot of it. With beautiful light, too.

If you have some other shots taken there please post them...;-)
