Mt. Shasta, California

End of the Line ~ After MidnightMCCLOUD, CALIFORNIA
The railway at McCloud, California at the base of Mt. Shasta was shut down in 2009. While the ghosts of it’s glory days still haunt the abandoned rail yard with the trains still standing tall and proud, there’s no escaping the fact that nature is taking back the land, growing up through the tracks. This bush stood in defiance of the power that the train once was. I found their juxtaposition of the two very poignant.

As photographers, we look to the BIG shots of sunsets and sunrises and breathtaking landscapes. Yet, to me, in her quiter moments, such as this, she is equally revealing showing off the more subtle elegance, beauty and essence that surrounds us everywhere if we just take the time and have the eyes to see.

When shooting moving water, one never knows what is going to show up in the flow. This day at the headwaters for the Shasta River, I got lucky to capture the face of the horse. I’ve developed such a relationship with the piece that it feels like I’ve made a connection with one of the spirits of the river.
