Summer Tracks

photo of railroad tracks in summer

Summer Tracks.

This was just behind Main Street, but it could be anywhere or in the middle of nowhere. The hills are green but on a day with glare like this the color is almost gone.

It was at this point along the tracks that I thought of the painting “House By Tracks” that I also posted today.

I did fool around with filters and such: Desaturate>Photo Filter Deep Yellow>Diffuse Glow, then some layers with feathering for the edges.

It’s only June, what will become of August?

Just for reference, here is the original photo.

    • Thanks! I did it as fast as I could so I wouldn’t lose the image in mind, but after I cooled off from my walk–I don’t have air conditioning here!
