As has been recently, I haven’t been able to get out much and shoot anything, never mind any railroad action.\u00a0 But I had to run to Old Lyme after work today, and the sunset was pretty nice, so I checked things out along the Shore Line.\u00a0 But as things would turn out, no trains were in the picture.\u00a0 But I did manage to snap one picture before heading home.\u00a0 And on the way home, something else caught my eye, so I grabbed a shot of it.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Heading west through Old Lyme, I had one shot in mind, and I thought it would work out with the sun.\u00a0 That shot was from the crest of the Route 156 bridge that goes over the Sound View detector.\u00a0 From there is a nice view of the Connecticut River drawbridge.\u00a0 I got there, parked the truck and was greeted with a nice golden hue over the drawbridge.\u00a0 Too bad it was open – that meant no trains were in the picture.\u00a0 Oh, well…<\/p>\n[cpg_imagefixthumb:7995]\n
Not too bad.\u00a0 Then I hit the road for home.<\/p>\n
On the way home, as I was traveling through Franklin the sunset caught my eye.\u00a0 Just as I was thinking “too bad there wasn’t a nice looking scene that could work with this beautiful sunset,” a nice looking scene passed right by me.\u00a0 So a quick U-turn, and I was back just in time to get this shot as the sun was disappearing below the horizon.<\/p>\n[cpg_imagefixthumb:7994]\n
Pretty good for a couple grab shots, eh?<\/p>\n
Thanks for looking!
