"The Past, Present and Future of Travel"...

Comments welcome.
Some of you may be curious about the inner rails. Those inner rails are referred to as "guide rails" or guard rails. Used often on bridges, they will limit how far sideways the train's wheels can travel in case of a derailment. They basically keep the wheels on the ties and track at least until it has left the bridge.

Light and Shadow...

Water continues to flow regardless of the rigid terrain it encounters. It assumes many forms yet continues to mesmerize us by it's simplicity. - Kelly Shipp

Nature's Fireworks...

Sunlight and infrared light illuminate this tree as if Mother Nature were giving us our own fireworks show. It is up to us to see them and appreciate them.

Trees of Roses...

There was something about the opening through these trees that interested me. It's as if a path existed, but it's up to me to determine where it leads. That's what excites me about exploration - you never know what you may see and experience.
