Railfans have a tough job: they have to sit around for hours to photograph a train. In
remote areas this can be challenging, as Mother Nature usually doesn't provide comfortable
seating. Thus the need for a device such as the folding camp chair I'm using. My car is
a mile away; I had to carry the chair on my backpack to use it here. A juniper tree
shades me from the blaring sun as I pass the time near the railroad tracks.

Here's a shot of Joe Tripod, my photographic assistant, after helping
me to take this picture: http://www.pbase.com/image/72079933 .

From this shady spot I photographed a train: http://www.pbase.com/listorama/image/71595975 .
