trestle at dusk



This image is from a beautiful twilight walk we took this week at Shelby Park, a beautiful park near my house. There is a "greenway" that passes through a wetland area and the trail winds along the Cumberland River, so there is always plenty of wildlife to see in this little oasis from the urban life. Shelby Park is full of twisting one-way roads and can be difficult to navigate, even for the locals! We have always used the towering train trestle as the landmark for finding the greenway, its huge steel structure providing the gateway from the man-made world of the city into the brief escape to the meadows and woods.
