Well not really midnight but here are a couple of shots of the Amtrak tonight. Suggestions are always welcome, in fact wanted. I'm trying to relearn things long forgotten.

    kinda crazy but just having fun. I love train shots... big, impressive pieces of machinery. I shot lots of them in Sacto when I lived there.

    Not so much..... But I like the one with the lights so much that my view is tainted.

    Nice shots!

    I especially like the top one. Here's a rough draft of a different cropping (and slightly desaturated and slightly rotated)...
