Isolated Crossing

Posted by Steve Carey (Fairhope, United States) on 2 May 2012 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

A railroad crossing stands idle in the middle of nowhere out on the Great Plains. I altered the original (and rather bland) color shot to create a sense of isolation and loneliness. The overall feeling of the shot reminds me of the opening scenes in the movie the Wizard of Oz. The photo was taken during a storm chasing trip in 2010.
