What with the full moon and a close encounter with Mars, it seemed a fun night to go try some photography. Here are the best three taken at the Amtrak station in San Luis Obispo. These were handheld, though I think it’s time to get a tripod going.

All Aboard!
The rails of a railroad track are kept shiny on the top by the regular passage of trains. Thus, "To Shiny Rails" is the battle cry of my personal effort to keep railroading activities of all kinds available to as many people as possible. It's tantamount to exclaiming "Keep those trains a rollin'!". And with any luck at all, I'll personally be on as many of those trains as possible! To shiny rails, Jamie
