One of the first assignments I was ever given in school was to study how light creates texture. So I went out at a time of day when the shadows were long and could be a little more interesting. I always remembered that, and applied those lessons learned when I visited this old abandoned train yard.
The location is about 80 miles east of San Diego in a rural area that's pretty much off the beaten track. I wanted to photograph the details because of the amazing texture I saw. I love how weathered things get when they've been abandoned for so long.
Even the most mundane things like a gutter can be interesting if the light and shadows are right.
This particular building has been abandoned for more than twenty years. It was eerily quiet as I walked around. Just the bzzzzzz of a nearby bees nest to keep me company.
