I like the strong structure of the trail vanishing into the fog, and how the solid reality of the foreground turns in something ethereal and vague. endika

My friends daughter (3 years ) somehow sneaks on the tracks and was killed by train. The same friend and his son, 30 years later, were crossing the tracks in the car. Car chocked on the tracks and the coming train finished both of them and the car. Widow is all what is left of the family. Picture is very nice, but reminds Me on the sad things.

The leading lines are so strong, and then the mist softens everything. I get an anxious feeling when I think of the implied potential for disaster here, with a child on tracks that are obviously in use. Yet there's an other-worldly atmosphere, freezing the moment so nothing can change it. Brenda

Well done, I try to find the train in the distant mist

What an excellent job you did here. I love the stripes, plaids and don't forget those spots!

Nice! For some reason a scene from a Stephen King novel comes to mind, there is a sense of foreboding in the way the tracks leads to the less distinct distance - Colin
