Sometimes train photography is about more than just the train. This cactus caught my eye, as well as the rapidly collapsing code line. I setup for this wide angle shot to try to incorporate all aspects of the scene into the frame. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster.

I've officially learned something for the day. Posted By Jim Griffin On Monday, September 8, 2008 At 10:20:47 AM (PT) Nice shot! I like the B&W stuff for flavor. BTW that's a yucca, not a cactus. The yucca is actually a member of the lilly family, hard as that may be to believe (especially if you've ever backed into one!). The state flower of New Mexico, if anyone cares... :-)     http://www.50states.com/flower/newmexico.htm    [ Add Comment ]
