Railcar Over

Coming into the Northeast corner of California we spotted this railcar that had tipped over coming down a long grade. It was pretty remote so may take a while for the railroad to come pick up the mess. Fortunately it was only wood chips not something that would cause much damage like the chemical spill that wiped out the North Sacramento River twenty years ago.

Canon 60D, f16, 1/100 sec, iso 400, -0.7 exp bias, 28 mm (17-85 IS lens) with Circ Polarizer

Interesting image. I think you did well in keeping detail in the shadows of the railcar. I agree, good thing it was only wood chips. TFS
