Sunday Snapshots

Oooh!!!  I got some neat-o pictures this week.  I was in a downtown parking lot and realized I was parked near these stationary train cars.  I took out my camera and wandered around the back alley to got some very interesting photos before heading home.

look at all the color on a white, white day...

I think trains are really awesome.  In the 1970's, I grew up on a farm right by the tracks & the Hamlin grain elevator.  I'm pretty nostalgic about trains.  I love to hear them rumble through at night.  They always made the farmhouse shake a bit and it would rock me to sleep.  Back then, the trains were all brown or green or red as I remember.  We would see the occasionally graffiti, but nothing like we see these days.  And wow - the rust!

so much to see

As I walked I saw even MORE color on the cars at the next rail line.

All the gears and wheels and steel and ladders... they make me want to climb them!  (I didn't.)

Oh how I love the lines and curves and colors and light in this next photo.  : )  What a nice day.

Look at all the colors and curves!

Finally... if this isn't the CUTEST thing!  It just makes me giggle!  It looks like it just slowly rolled itself down the snowbank in a feeble attempt to to adventure out into the big world.  Sweet isn't it?


I hope you enjoyed my Sunday Snapshots this week : )   Have a great day!
