Light Rail - After DarkSomehow this $4 Billion boondoggle has found a way to be beautiful at night. As darkness creeps in, the scene becomes dramatic and colorful with the reflections of the lights from cars & trucks passing by and the traffic lights constantly changing colors. This lends a mysterious glow and tint to the stainless steel look of the train. Later, when I was able to catch the scene during and after a modest rainfall, the added reflections from the water on the pavement produced another dimension to the scene.
I hope you enjoy these scenes enough to leave your comments. Thank you.http://greenngold1.smugmug.com/After-Dark/Light-Rail-After-Dark/Waiting-For/538363640_wqo2K-Ti.jpghttp://greenngold1.smugmug.com/gallery/8234162_SwwJy/2009-09-13T16:15:11ZCopyright 2010, the copyright holder of each photograph.
