Day 358 - Train just left

Dover, NH view map

Another train theme. I'm not sure what the attraction is lately. We were late to my daughter's gymnastic lesson, in fact, we actually got held up by the train (Downeaster) on the other side of town for it to pass, then got held up while it was sitting in the station. The Southbound train parks too close to the train signals and causes the gates to remain in the closed position while passengers come and go. I was thinking of heading in a different direction after dropping her off for my photo, but there was something about this scene. It fits nicely for today's FGR, Winter 2009-10. We've not really had all that much snow yet, have to wait until January or February for the snowbanks to rise. I like the tones in this shot, I got there just before sunset with the sun getting a little obsured in the clouds. I'm working on another composition as an HDR, but there are 7 images, it takes forever to blend them, and I basically suck at HDR.
