Trashed Tracks

Roller Coaster Tonight I took some shots of the flood damage to the tracks of the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad where Yellow Creek topped the canal era culvert under Riverview Road. The power of water never ceases to amaze - not to mention that the flood rose high enough to go over the tracks, road and Towpath Trail here. Having worked in the Valley for so long floods bum me out - so you usually don't see much of this kind of thing from me....
No photos in this set are cropped - kind a challenge for myself tonight. All primes so I "zoomed" with my feet and then presented you with all available pixels...

From Below Here is a tutorial in photographic composition....

When people say "they don't make 'em like they used to" - well, they are right.... Wild Flowers Ah, what the hell - here is a flower.
