I took these pictures of the Red Line in Quincy about a month ago. The plan was to use them right away.
But the more that I blog, the more I end up not writing things the way that I first planned.
The same thing happens with photographs. Sometimes I end up not using them at all.
I've been rather pensive over the last few days though. And for some reason, it makes sense to use them now.
When I took these pictures, I was ending a walk. I stopped on the bridge over the tracks.
I remember thinking that if I waited long enough, and paid attention, something would happen. Then the trains went by. And I was ready with my camera.
Maybe there is a life lesson here. Maybe not.

Beautiful pics. A lot can be learned by pondering trains.
We always consider trains of any kind good luck. We all take delight in spying a train and when our son was little, he'd yell out with delight, "I saw it first!" With boys, there's always competition it seems. ;-)
I find what you said about blog posts and what you intended and what you actually wrote (and when) to be very true. I think the pieces just come together differently than we expect, but usually they come together easier if we don't rush it/force fit them. :-)
Great photos--thanks!

Just LOVE these images, Anali...they are ethereal. Trains are good for contemplation in many ways. :o)
Patience IS a virtue...
I love the blur in these - so atmospheric
merci
willow - Glad you like the pics!
shirley - Thank you! I do like to think that in the end, things come together the way that they're supposed to.
tracy - There is something special about trains. They feel kind of timeless in a way. I just remembered the movie "Sliding Doors" with Gwyneth Paltrow. Great movie by the way.
carol - I guess it's a virtue, because it's so hard!! ; )
I don't know about the life lesson, but I'm a subway buff, so I always like good subway pictures (even if it's the Red Line, with which I'm more familiar than any other subway line in the world, riding it for 50+ years now!)
so glad you shared these photos with us. the light is stunning!
xoxo
Good things come out of feeling pensive sometimes. Lovely photos.
suldog - Glad you like the pics! I guess most of my subway pics are of the Red Line. I need to go on the Blue Line one day just to take pictures
christina - I'm glad you enjoyed them! Gotta love that magic hour light.
can-can - Thank you! ; )
