LOL. I had a sister-in-law who had directional dyslexia. Should would look left, point left, and say "right".

If you flip the image then we’d really be screwing with his mind. Paul

LOL. Perhaps one of us here has photo alignment dyslexia (a rare condition).

Super shot. The tree island is on the left on my screen, which probably means it needs calibrating.

BTW, the tree island off to the right really makes this image. T

T & Paul - thanks. I am in Logan UT visiting some friends who were here for the summer. We went out to this site yesterday primarily to see the two engines they have on display. We hadn't realized how remote this site still was - just north of the Great Salt Lake, and only an hour from Logan. The view to the west was similar, but spoiled a bit by a part of the visitors center close to the track.
I took this photo primarily for the challenge, realizing that I don't have something as desolate looking as this even in southern AZ. I am sure it exists but generally the views are spoiled by parallel highways.

I'll publish some photos of the trains themselves as I start to work on them.

Lines and leading lines as far as the eye can see. I have to agree with T, this is my favorite challenge entry so far. On a walk yesterday we came up on a set of tracks and I considered doing something similar but unlike yours it was urban and was too much clutter to make it interesting. Paul

Winner, winner...you know what they say...winner takes center stage and a bow. T
