19 MAY 05 FUNNY LOOKING PURPLE STUFF ALONG THE TRACKS.jpg

It doesn't look like much from here but there are all these purple things growing all over the place
I'm told they are invasive & spread rapidly . . . .

but they just look sooooo idyllic along the tracks mixed in with the clover

it looks kinda washed out cuz I brightened it so much to show the flowers =\


here's a close up






This time last year I did yet another ridiculous shot =D

Olympus C-740UZ
1/800s f/3.2 at 23.4mm iso64 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

I wonder if it's Purple Loosestrife (spelling?), which is notorious in some areas as an invasive plant...

I hope it isn't industrial waste.

We get loads of purple things besides, and between our tracks too. I guess its an oasis for them. Not sure what they are called but often live cheek by jowel with shopping trollies.

Interesting contrast with the industrial look of the tracks. Seems nature has a way of defeating man's progress. Pretty flowers too. No idea what they are.

I wouldnt like to be on a train on these tracks... that looks decidely kinked. the weeds will overgrow the track before long

So you think that shooting w/your new camera down these tracks will train in properly? I don't want to derail your interesting photo, but despite the PVTs you better call the weed abatement office and get all those achooo's cleared out. LOL

These tracks look like they don't get much use.
