Looking For The Southbound Train

Uploaded: September 04, 2017

Description

This once was a thriving community overlooking a beautiful valley, with the Blue Ridge Mountains in the fog-covered distance. This community had it's own train station, hotel, two General Stores, a bank, & a Post Office. Now this area is seldom explored by the average traveler. The train station is no longer there & the narrow crooked road is rather dangerous with little protection between you & the high bluff which leads to the river below. The 1915 trestle bridge crosses the James River & Norfolk Southern uses these tracks. Another set of CSX tracks follow alongside the river. Too bad I couldn't get a train passing by!
My settings were F14 ss 1/13 sec iso 100 Tripod, overcast, at end of day. 18mm 18-135mm lens Used Topaz Impression at 30%.

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
