Changes

    Bored out of my skull waiting for a Eastbound freight I shot some interesting shots of the old code line telegraph wires along the BNSF tracks East of Rochelle IL on a Friday night. By the next Tuesday, all of these poles would be pulled out of the ground and laid on the side of the road awaiting to be hauled away for scrap

      Oh yea!!! I screwed up the train shot and thought I would catch it another day to redo the scene again ....... NOT

      Pretty sure Theresa, and my shots were the last ones ever taken of this scene, unless some other foamer caught this crossing over the weekend

      Love these colors!! I can't tell you how many times the location/subject of my photos have changed drastically, making me so glad that I stopped when I did.

      Pretty sure your coins like these lines are GONE
      Thanks. Someone always told me to never pass up the shot for another day as it might not be around in another day!
