Description don't know where I'm going
only where I've fled
if I had a destination it's either
far behind
in the rust
or miles and miles ahead
under the rain
and I'm the driver of this train
hauling loads of
empty freight
hoping to find
some kind of fate

they say move to the mark
that the maker's set for you
I see none but the rails
stretching forever onward
so I ride on through
I ride on through


rider of the rails:

while this photo has all the things that could be considered predictable, it isn't. it does infact raise all the questions that have been asked already like how did you get up there and all of that. but what i see is that this photo stands up on it's own because of its strong compostion and use of pretty intense color rather than the story it may or may not be telling of the guy walking on the top of the train. good work.

Oh no, that's really sad to hear. Safety really is important in places like these, expecially in busier cities like Gothenburg.

Actually I was thinking the same thing as Wrighton363, but with a "mom" slant..."wondering what you were doing atop that train, how you got the heck up there, and was the thing moving? And stuff like that.
)

Great shot.

mih

We climbed.

Actually, these cars were very stationary and probably will be for quite some time. Glad to see this image gave off the impression of movement, though. Thanks!

Wow, this is really cool. I love the warm and cool tones presented and the mellow mood this portrays. The grain adds both compositionally and meaningfully. It is also neat how you caught the subject with one foot up in mid-air and implies the motion of moving forward, which is sometimes hard to do.

It was definitely mellow evening that I wanted to share.
