Tracks Not Taken, photo by Harold Davis. View this image larger.

This is another photo of the abandoned naval shipyards on Mare Island. I like the conjunction of tracks and lines (the railroad, the airplane trail in the sky) and points of light (the moon, the reflection of the moon, the bright star).

Mark had the idea of getting down low to the tracks, and I think this works very well. Little enough traffic that we ran no risk of getting, as my kids would say, “runned over.”
