Geometry and Color

This shot is of a RR bridge spanning the Sabillasville Road looking South toward Thurmont. I had to locate a CVS to get some batteries for my light meter (energizer 355/MS76/SR44) and found myself heading out this mountain highway toward Pennsylvania. My quest this day is to capture some interesting fall pictures. I think this one does a good job as it captures the beautiful clear blue sky, the fall colors on the mountain side, and something unexpected in the geometric play of the man made objects against the natural geometry. Notice how the rail bridge seems to cut an angle across the hillside, and also the road and creek. The supports meanwhile provide a perfectly vertical line which emphasises the other features and their angles: road, rail, power lines and angled support cables, ridgeline, and trees. Very pretty and one to keep. I also captured it on 35mm for perhaps an enlargement
