Ric, I like the weathered look to this "sleeper". I especially like the intersection of lines...and the inclusion of that single circle. A neat abstract...well seen and taken. MFC

Weathered wood shows it's beauty. Neat shot!

It sounds like a tie is the same as a sleeper!!

Nice one Ric - well seen and captured. Deb - I am pretty sure a sleeper is the same as a tie - the wooden beam that lies perpendicular to, and under, the rails ~gk

Reallly nice close-up of this weathered wood - I love the purple knot and all the lines in the wood. I also want to know what a railway sleeper is - I thought it was a car that people slept in.

ric, neat image! LOVE that purple knot, not to mention its position in the image! For such a simple shot, there's much to see. Forgive my ignorance, what's a "railway sleeper?" Is it, by chance, another name for a railroad tie?---Deb
