light rail tunnel

A pit stop on the way up north.

Arriving at dusk, it was imperative to make quick use of the fading daylight for outside photography. The image to the left was snapped just before the sun dipped below the horizon. The darkness of the night sky was nothing compared to the pitch black inside. Only our flashlights illuminated the way through the tunnel that penetrated deep into the rocky hillside. Had I the ultrasonic navigational skills of the many bats fluttering overhead, I wouldn't have been so worried when, halfway down the tracks, my flashlight's batteries began to fail.

     
     
     
     
 
Entering   The light fades quickly
     
     
Along the way- feeling small
     
     
 
There ...   ... and Back Again.
