The Right Track?

2008.05.27

Today I took a train ride on a new track and towards a new adventure. I didn't know if it was the right track to take and I didn't exactly know where the track would take me, but when the ride was finally over and I got off at the platform, I was left full of anticipation and excitement.
It's always scary changing tracks.
Yes I'm scared, But I'm ready.
Now I play the waiting game.

Oh WOW - I love this photo! B&W makes a great photo even better. Love the sense of motion here.

Hmm....such cryptic commentary! I hope the change works out well for you. Such a coincidence, as the commentary is very fitting for us as well - hubby is leaving his job of 27 years this week to take his part-time business full-time. We're scared, yet ready as well.

Have a good trip. Perhaps a great adventure is around the corner. Good luck.

photopoet · 2008-05-27: 06:10

wonderful photo, good providence to you!~ R

urmysunshine · 2008-05-27: 06:32

The right track? I think so.
And you're sure ready.
This shot well depicts the life in a metropolitan - always on a fast track, not knowing what's ahead and you'd better to be ready.

leocheung · 2008-05-27: 07:40

Cool shot!! hope you made it to where ever it is you wanted to go or what ever adventure you were seeking. Let us know how you adventure goes or went!!

SheriJ · 2008-05-27: 07:59

It could be as risky and scary, but if you dont take the track, you will never find out where it takes... excellent catch! Love the contrast between the inside of the train, passangers peacefully sit and read, and the running outside...

longimanus · 2008-05-27: 08:46

So exciting!!!
What comes next?
Necessarly magical events, small & big, for people with wide open eyes like you.
Can't wait to see what you saw, my friend.

Madoc · 2008-05-27: 09:04

dkelly · 2008-05-27: 09:40

dhulsmeyer · 2008-05-27: 10:23

Wonderful picture. Great composition and b&w. The text is like a novel. It makes me eager to know what's happening next.

noptek · 2008-05-27: 10:44

My friend....
City lives are so hasty as reflected by the streamlines / speed of this B&W photos...
How could u make this stunning shot during a hasty life.... you are just so professional to me....

ThomasChu · 2008-05-27: 11:10

Very cool shot - the mix of reflections and motion works really well and the choice of b/w is ideal.

davids · 2008-05-27: 11:32

well, now I am full of curiosity wondering what that new adventure will be! :)

Fantastic picture. Love the b/w and the motion...makes me want my own new adventure!

kalabancoro · 2008-05-27: 13:16

Great photo to go with your commentary- looks like the fast track.
I usually don't get to pick the tracks...I'm usually thrown on them ;-)

Good luck to you - right or left, right or wrong. Job change, perhaps?

oldbabe · 2008-05-27: 13:23

GREAT shot, and of course you took the right track, you sound very confident!

DancingDolphin · 2008-05-27: 13:39

TIM927 · 2008-05-27: 14:37

moving train plus b/w = great pic!!

loki05 · 2008-05-27: 17:41

I would LOVE to take a train to work. The only one around is to Seattle, but I would love to just sit back, read a book, and not have to fight traffic, or buy gas!!! What is the price of gas there, btw?

TamaraHarden · 2008-05-27: 18:22

Great shot! I can feel your anticipation!
Change is part of life(:

ambersunsets · 2008-05-27: 19:48

great capture

mojaroo · 2008-05-27: 20:25

Great take!

davidcardona · 2008-05-27: 20:36

Words will not allow me to describe how much I love this shot. I felt like I was in a movie. - I need to venture out more. Great capture.

Queen911 · 2008-05-27: 23:16

Great shot... I can't get over the lines... the reflection in the glass compounds it and accentuates that great rush of movement of the train :)
Sorry I've not been much of a presence on your blog of late, lots of stuff going down... I do feel as if I've changed tracks too... I've certainly got a big change planned for next year.
I wonder what track you're now travelling down? I'm excited for you.
Would love to hear about it over a drink soon, when you can :)

I'm very intrigued by your words in this entry!! Change is most definitely exciting and I bet it will all work out for you...

KerBear · 2008-05-28: 20:21

wowzers sister, this shot is amazing. your words are so mysterious, but i can't help but feel exciting and anticipatory for you nonetheless. i hope that these tracks will lead you somewhere fruitful. i wish i could hop on too.

BreezyOnTheEyes · 2008-05-28: 20:54

Oh my gosh aren't you getting more & more artsy!
I LOVE this!!
You have such a flare for capturing feeling.

LotoFoto · 2008-05-28: 22:29

Oooooh deep and intriguing...

I love the lines and reflections; a great sense of movement A.

mrutherford22 · 2008-05-29: 07:51

great picture!

smart4too · 2008-05-29: 10:00

WoW! such a great photo. You captured the motion so well !

Bushman · 2008-05-29: 10:06

The movement in the pic almost throws me off balance, I love it!
I remember Melbourne's trains very well & this picture takes me back some years (especially the fabric on the seats, sheesh they haven't reapollstered those in over 15yrs, LOL)
Good luck on your new path, just remember to take us with you :)

Anjie · 2008-05-29: 23:35

I can't help but think that this is a metaphor about work somehow? *scratches head most curiously*... ;)

aurian · 2008-05-30: 00:48

Beautiful shot!!!

aliozoglu · 2008-05-30: 00:50

As "Aurian" points out; something going on here...lol... (Im thinking a "Good Luck" is in order!!!!!).....
But more's to the point.... what a stunning shot!!!!

jim7221 · 2008-05-30: 00:58

Nayah · 2008-05-31: 04:56

Great shot! Love the motion and anticipation!

bamommy · 2008-06-03: 07:38

The reflection of the passengers reading the news, the horizontal lines for speed, the b/w for atmosphere, the twin perspective of in and out of the train - and the nice coplimenting story to boot - GREAT POST!!!!
