Railroads

I went out the other day looking for some shots for a project I am doing for Digital Photography. Needless to say I didn't find much that I could use, but I found some other cool stuff at these old railroad cars. The graffiti on them was really fun and the pictures are quite colorful (and these have no photoshop adjustments yet).

Then later I was looking for some images of something else online and came across this website of some guys work. One of his collections was pictures from railroad cars as well. I thought it was cool.

Not to bag

Not to bag on the SoCalians, but these guys seriously don't know how to handle rain. I watched the news the first day it started raining a couple of weeks ago and when the weathercast came on, the guy was like, "It's been a wet one, hasn't it. Unfortunately I can't say tomorrow will be any better. You should expect another day of heavy rain. Watch for flooding on the roads and be sure to drive carefully on the freeways, they can get pretty slick in this heavy rain."

Come on. Are you serious? Have you never seen a raindrop? People all around me are like, "Geez, I hate this weather. When is it going to be sunny and warm again?" I know this is Southern California, but there are seasons.

I don't know, I just think it's funny that people start freaking out when the temperature drops below 78 degrees, or when water falls from the sky.

Not that I don't feel bad for those whose homes are getting washed away in the mud slides. But this is the desert and when it rains, it rains. Maybe if there weren't so much cement, the water would have somewhere to go...

I'm just saying.
