I saw the “100 Best Photos” issue in a local store. I like it as there are lots of good pictures but, the one picture that stands out way above the rest is the cover picture with sunset over the river and a train crossing the river. That photo should be made into a poster. Could they sell 2’x3’ prints of it for $20 plus shipping. If its in higher resolution maybe even a 3’x5’ poster for $50 plus shipping. Anyone else?
I’d have to build a new wall! But it might be worth it.
I haven’t seen the publication yet. But if you’re talking about the shot that’s in the advertisement for the book, I’m pretty familiar with the location–Hawk’s Nest State Park, in West Virginia. That’s the old C&O down there, and the New River. The two-track main line splits at that point, with one track going along each side of the river for a few miles.
Our family has been through there in every way imaginable, by car (both at this overlook and down by the river), by train (Amtrak’s Cardinal), and on the river (they offer[ed] rides from here down to the New River highway bridge and back).
Forgot to mention: in that photo, it’s probably dawn, not sunset.
