Night Train'ssssss

Posted by Marcah (Quincy, United States) on 4 January 2009 in Transportation and Portfolio.

Rolling on, hear the wheels singing, fever keep coming on so strong
My ticket paid, trying to fade
I hope I get there not just somewhere I was leaving
Out in the dark all the wolves bark
I fold my arms try to keep warm by believing

Hard rain following on, cold wheels moving on
Everybody they're so alone down on the night train

What a fantastic work! I can`t help but feeling as if I am being dragged away into the light. The energy of this image is so strong and the illusion of the real is so bazaar and surreal... WOW! There is definitely powerful motion in this "still".

Terrific. The light at the end of the tunnel; this is like a near death experience; emotionally moving.

Wow! For a great picture. I get sucked into a situation of high speed and the feeling of a collision with something soon! Very nice done. One of the best shots I've seen in a long time! Congratulations!

Ah, my dear friend, I know why I love your work : that power out of all your shots, and this one makes me feel so good - love railways, and yours is such a great path to follow, I don't know where I go but I'll go since Light seems to wait in the background - that's the railway of Life !
