It sounds like you are the more adventurous type...not tied down by the rails. It is more exciting to be able to take that side road...even if it leads nowhere...you are able to find out and adjust your path.<br /><br />DanDan Felsteadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04917775645881312007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-654265037255757089.post-91697787904623424542009-07-28T08:20:32.413-05:002009-07-28T08:20:32.413-05:00Javiz...I like the train as well...here in the sta...Javiz...I like the train as well...here in the states, train travel is quite a novelty nowadays.

I think I would miss too much traveling on the straight and narrow path of the train. Plus I would change my mind several times before I got to my destination and couldn't just step off the train to wander :)Faye Pekashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06176788826303435577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-654265037255757089.post-56698556413316056422009-07-27T22:01:19.723-05:002009-07-27T22:01:19.723-05:00Love these two shots, Dan!

There's something about looking into the horrizion, be it via the rails or the open road, that is inspiring. Thanks for that inspiration. :)<br /><br />As for the answer to your question, I think I'll have to go with the open road. There is just so much to see and do, and so many of the most amazing adventures are the ones not accessible by rail. I will admidt, I find comfort on the rails sometimes, but I feel like I miss out on too much if I stay on them exclusively.<br /><br />Thanks again for the thoughts and images. :)Mrs. Nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10709204383276074686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-654265037255757089.post-3391449719207512172009-07-27T10:33:11.177-05:002009-07-27T10:33:11.177-05:00Dawn Treader...it is interesting that you have bot...Dawn Treader...it is interesting that you have both experiences!

We spent most of our holidays driving down obscure sideroads in the middle of nowhere to track down the remains of long-since-closed-down railways and stations! I never took over the interest. (Neither did my brother.) But when I see a picture like this, I can also smell it, and feel the heat.DawnTreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13956409908791716009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-654265037255757089.post-29117844061899821342009-07-27T09:56:05.543-05:002009-07-27T09:56:05.543-05:00Monica..

I never thought of trains as a forced method of staying on the straight and narrow, though (there's many a small, forgotten town with a train station). They just take so much time! Maybe that's the lesson for me: Slow down.<br /><br />One of these days...jennifer blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10162940461142708018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-654265037255757089.post-58868666279682146882009-07-27T08:09:46.380-05:002009-07-27T08:09:46.380-05:00Thanks Jen...Both shots were about perspective...b...Thanks Jen...Both shots were about perspective...both literally and figuratively!<br /><br />DanDan Felsteadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04917775645881312007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-654265037255757089.post-31638385119090714212009-07-27T08:08:47.397-05:002009-07-27T08:08:47.397-05:00Monica...perfect addition to my narrative...thanks...Monica...perfect addition to my narrative...thanks for completing my thoughts!<br /><br />DanDan Felsteadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04917775645881312007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-654265037255757089.post-17809709044800887692009-07-27T08:07:59.927-05:002009-07-27T08:07:59.927-05:00Heather....thanks for the comments.
