"UP Headin West" - Larry Severtson

 

I had stopped in the Columbia River Gorge (about 120 miles east of Portland) to take some photos of the windmills; but Mother Nature wasn’t cooperating.  The windmill blades were barely moving and I couldn’t get an acceptable picture of them in motion.  Fortunately, the Union Pacific was kind enough to help me out. 

This was shot with a Canon 60D and 18mm - 55mm lens (@ 24mm), ISO 100, f22 for 1/30.  

 

I like the detail, the colors and the juxtaposition of the old technology, the railroad train in the foreground and the newer electrical generating windmills in the background.
