The sepia is perfect for the antique train. This scene could have been many years ago. Nice point of view, too, Kevin.

I miss the sounds and whistles of the old steam engines, they always seemed so powerful and grand, no diesel locomotive comes close in that regard.

About tamcat
tamcat My name is Kevin N. Weinhold, and somehow I ended up posting photos on an account with my wife's nickname (sorry for any confusion!). I used to think that photos were too two-dimensional, not really capturing the real person or scene, but now I understand why: without God we are all two-dimensional, but there is a much richer world behind those photos. I hope you find something in my photos beyond my view of God's creation; I'm looking forward to seeing your photos, too!
