2012, Day 271 - Gilded shadows

Photography is all about light, the abundance or lack of it is captures by our cameras.  At night every light source is obvious and here the tracks are worn smooth and reflect the streetlamps.  The tracks provide a visual anchor for what would otherwise be negative space and help provide a sense of balance.
