Path into the Pines

"I captured this shot looking straight down the center of the cog railway tracks as they cut a perfect, symmetrical line through a dense mountain forest. The tall pine trees on either side act like natural walls, perfectly framing the view of the distant peaks ahead. The strong leading lines of the tracks, accentuated by the play of sunlight and shadow on the gravel, pull the eye deep into the scene. This image is all about the sense of anticipation and the quiet adventure of the journey into the wilderness."
