That's the first time I've seen trash contribute to a photo! Most of the time I'm picking it up to improve the staging of my shot.

There's one that is new to me, all of four miles long. I like the sign on the first photo warning crewmen to KEEP OFF TOP AND SIDE OF CAR and just ahead overhead is a conveyor or corridor of some sort. Good advice!

Cleveland's RTA (Rapid Transit Authority) The train entering the tunnel travels underground to the Terminal Tower building in the far background. That is the center of the City.

Nice pictures Ted- thanks for posting. Terminal Tower was built by the Van Sweringens in the late '20s I think? It's beautiful. They made a fortune in real estate and their ownership of the Nickel Plate Road (railroad). I've only been near Cleveland once when my wife and I stopped at Berea, OH to shoot train pictures. We enjoyed our lakefront highway journey getting there. Someday we hope to go back and see the city.

I live next to Berea and take photos there quite often. The Terminal Tower was completed in 1930 and celebrated its 80th birthday in 2010. The Tower is a true work of art, now dwarfed by simple blocks and shapes with no character. Thanks for viewing.

Fun with Architecture. During the game today, I became bored with baseball player photos. The 80-400VR is fun.

This was a natural collage.

Oh, and by the way.... here are the Victors!

I just realized I inadvertently posted this in the train thread. It was supposed to go into my Cleveland thread. My apologies.

This train was pulling at least 100 black tankers and I seriously doubt it was Jack Daniels.

Abandoned trains. That would be a cool shoot. Well done!

Since spring has finally decided to stay a few days, I decided to shoot some picutes of this old abandoned train in Bucks County, PA.

I believe this is an old trolley, sitting up on block in a field. Nature is reclaiming it.
