Very nice Lew; reminiscent of '30s "dust bowl" images.

Very nice image.. My sinuses would go haywire in all that dust though.

Nice Lew, my only comment would be the undefined dark line running across the foreground. I find myself trying the figure out what it is, more then simply enjoying the image.

 

[Rick50]

Love this...

 

[The_Traveler]

Thanks all.
Rick, I have no idea what that might be. There are a couple of others visible on the right side just above.
I would think pipe but this isn't an area that does irrigation.

I could go back and look but it's about 12000 miles.

Actually food and drink were available on board or at the station.

We were back in the 'dining car' which was an ancient cafe car of pre- WWII French vintage.
The tables were rickety wire cafe type but screwed to the floor.
There was a little counter and the food was cooked in a wok using some sort of gas.
I asked for a menu and the man dug underneath the counter and pulled out an ancient typed sheet.
The first item was fried rice and chicken but I had been eating a lot of that so I pointed further down the list.
He shook his head and pointed at the fried rice and chicken again.
After two or three repeats of different items, I said OK, chicken and rice.
Three minutes later he reappeared and sat down a huge pile of fried rice with an egg on top.
I looked at it and pointed at the rice and said 'rice'' he nodded yes.
I pointed at the egg and said 'egg.'
He pointed at the egg and said 'chicken.'

Yummie...Salmonella on a string. Nothing like keeping it fun for the kids.
