Golden Morning Tracks

On the way to work this morning again I took the non-expressway route.
My path to work takes me north. As I crossed these tracks and looked east
the golden light reflecting of the rails just made me pull over, grab my camera
and jump out. I can't believe how many hours I've wasted on an expressway.
Why do we do it? To get there faster. Look what we miss. Slow down, smell the roses.

Join our "anti-freeway" club !! Been up here almost a year, haven't been on any of them. Takes a little longer, but you won't get a shot like this on this on I-35.

It's a lovely warm image. Continuing on from the commentary it's the kind of shot that can make you wonder where following those rails might lead.
