2012, Day 261 - It's all so hazy

More photos from my little urban adventure with Brian.  One of the great things about fast glass is that you can create a wonderful shallow depth of field.  In this case I focused on the tracks so that you can see the timbers, the rail and the rocks clearly while the bridges and buildings in the distance are out of focus.  It has a rather special look and helps to focus on the grain of the ties, the texture of the stone, and the smooth worn surface of the rails.
