Trains and Tobacco Barns

[gnooj]

I was glad to get the chance to get out and go for a walk this afternoon. Usually I take my iPod and listen to music or podcasts. Today I decided to switch up and take a camera.

Western Kentucky is pretty monotone this time of year. Everything is brown and grey so it can be a challenge to find something interesting to photograph.

But I was able to find these:

I got lucky and a locomotive and I were at the same location at the same time. I thought this shot would be a pretty good candidate for a faux tilt shift shot.

These next two are at a large tobacco operation. There are actually 24 of these tobacco barns on this site. In the fall, when the barns are "lit" it's pretty smoky here.

As always, thanks for looking.

Nice work! I love the last, the shadow on the side of the building. It has a very peaceful and understated feel.
