Description

A beast of smoke, steam, and iron emerges from the mists and blowing snow of winter somewhere in the Rocky Mountains in the American West. Unlike the inhabitants of that wild west wilderness, this is a thing made by man: a train pulled by a massive locomotive that cuts through the fog. Chugging along the rails, the sound of the steam engine's whistle cuts through the cold air. Its light is a burning beacon in the otherwise cold and white snowy landscape.

This is my first image to feature a train. Normally, my subjects are much more organic, but I've been working on a scene that pairs a buffalo with a train and decided to do a train by itself first just to see how it turned out. I rather like the way the light of the train creates a focal point in the image.
