Description

Under the guise of progress, the rail line into the city of Newcastle has been ripped up and the overhead power lines removed! At this stage the train signals are still there, maybe they will be left as a monument to the past and town history!

Exif: F Number: 11, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/320 seconds, Flash: did not fire., ISO: 200, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 18.00 mm, Model: NIKON D90

Progress is not always good, John, and I hope they leave the train signals there. Super clarity in this story-telling shot, my friend. Hope you had a great birthday. A bit late, though. #11471071

Not all progress is progress or beneficial. Urban decay captured well. #11471517
