Coach Lights
7. January 2012 by David.
Items from the past are some of my favorite subjects.
While touring Railtown 1897 in Jamestown I got the chance to photograph inside one of the coaches that is being restored. I was first attracted by the subtle colors lit by the afternoon light coming from some high windows into the roundhouse. And then of course there are these wonderful lines.
Railtown 1897 is one of the California State Parks that is set to close next year because of budget cuts. You can do two things to help. Visit the park, I plan on going back within the next month, and let the governor and state legislature know how much this and other parks mean to you. The squeaky wheel gets the grease. You can also join the California State Parks Foundation which is trying to keep these parks open. A state park is a terrible thing to waste.
Keep clicking,
Dave
