A Sliver of Light
Sometimes the light magically falls on an interesting subject perfectly.
I had a small fleet of fairly large sized O scale (same scale as Lionel trains) F9 diesel engines sitting on a couple of tracks and the sun was low and streaming in a nearby window as a sliver of light... this light was reflecting off a windshield, which was nice, and some of the light was reflecting down in between the two tracks softly illuminating the sides of the locomotives in shadow...
I really like the period when late steam engines shared the tracks with early diesel engines. It was a time of change... a time of growth... a time of moving forward... a time when railroads were the way to travel and move freight. This was a period at the pinnacle of the golden age of railroads and, unfortunately, as time would prove, the beginning of the end of the golden age of railroads.
The only thing I can think of to improve this shot would be to have had a late steam engine softly illuminated in the background or off to one side.
This shot does give me some ideas for future photographs though...
