Scott, You have taken some photos of the Watsatch Mtn. Range. I’m doing some research on a small oil…and trying to locate where it may have been painted. May I email you some info/details. Will understand if you’d rather not….thank you. Raye

Good morning, Raye…and yes, you may send me what you have and I’ll help however I can.

this might be the most evocative rail shot I’ve ever seen…I’m working my way up to speechless

Great capture. I like how the rails and railbed fade off into the distance under the cover of weeds. Very nice.

Thank you, Dan…just kind of stumbled across it…waiting for me to take its photo.

Wonderfully atmospheric – love the teasels. Reminds me of a scene from the movie: Stand by Me.

My wife and kids were just asking about that movie the other day…and I do remember those railroad tracks. Thank you, Meanderer.

Love all the varied colors and textures in this one. Perfectly lovely. Who would think you’d find all that out in the desert? 😉
April 10, 2013 at 12:41 pm
Hmm…yes, Gunta…out in the desert. It’s a lovely world we live in…lovely bit of square miles within sight of the Wasatch. Thanks for the nice words. 🙂

Oh Scott, I love this – these are some of my very favorite places. I’ve wandered many an old railroad track, picking flowers and running into who-knows-what. Great photo! To get all that detail in the foreground and the clouds – that’s just what it feels like.

Wow…thank you, Lynn…and how nice that these are some of your favorite places…I rather enjoy them, too. 🙂

Love this image Scott. Lead in lines, the teasels, the mountains in the distance – smashing photograph!

Thank you for all of that, Adrian…I thought it was a very full image.

Railroad tracks ran close to the house I grew up in and i grew up walking them, so I always like seeing them.

Glad you enjoyed the image, Allen…there’s something about railroad tracks from our childhood, isn’t there?

Great composition Scott.
Looks very dry over there. Is this an old photo or recent one?
April 10, 2013 at 5:53 pm
Hi, Victoria…hasn’t been dry exactly…everything has been preserved through the winter, somehow…and raining and sprinkling while I was out there….this past Sunday. Glad you liked it…thank you.

So beautiful Scott. I love old rails like this!
April 10, 2013 at 6:29 pm
Thank you very much, Susan…me too. 🙂
April 11, 2013 at 8:21 am
That was an incredible find!
April 10, 2013 at 8:27 pm
Yes, it was, Terry…had to go back and snag some photos of it…too good to pass by.
April 11, 2013 at 8:22 am
This is really beautiful, Scott. Nature reclaiming what it can.
April 14, 2013 at 12:47 pm
Thank you, Karen…I enjoy seeing that happen.

Me too!
