everybody loves the sound of a train

Roberta (www.uncommondepth.com) and my main intent on our day trip shoot was a little town called Big Valley. This little town is a train town. They're actually training new conductors there with a program out of NAIT (Northern Alberta Institute of Technology). The lady who heads up the program was actually there for an open house and was on the platform while I was trying to get some train shots. She approached not about my photography, which of course in my limited experience is what total strangers usually approach you about when standing with camera on tripod etc, but to actually recruit me to the course. LOL!!!! But when you think about it, can you imagine the amazing photo ops you'd have daily "riding the rails"?? Oh and I do have to admit that the thing I like most about this image is that you can see the prairie "through" the car of the train.

Remember tomorrow and Sunday is Graffiti Days!!
