Remarks & Notes

Southbound from Silverton in the late afternoon. The combination of hazy sunshine and the reflection of light off the mineral stained rocks below the bridge produced an interesting lighting effect. We were arriving Silverton but turned the train on the wye to get this southbound shot, and then backed into town.
