Cee's Photo Challenges 
I like the last photo of the rail on the track. Such a close-up POV really accentuates the distorted shape of the track.

I like the selective colouring of the shot with the lad on a bike, Cee. And the first one has a great vintage feel to it.

You have real trains. Locally, we have a train, but it has no regular schedule and does not stop in this town. Boston has trains, but we are never in Boston these days. I love your trains!

I like them all and many of the comments resonate for me. I’m imagining that the last photo took quite a bit of bending or squatting down…??? At least this is how my right hip sees it 🙂

It took a little bit, but not much. 😀 I put the camera on the tracks so it was nice and steady. 😀

Wonderful challenge and Photos, Cee. I couldn’t resist–as I began to post this a train across the river from us sounded its long-long-short melancholic whistle. Must add a train trip to my bucket list. https://whatweseez.wordpress.com/2018/06/14/trains-in-black-and-white-cees-bw-challenge/
