Aussie Day 6: Trainspotting.
 |
Well, not REALLY trainspotting, more like spotting things from a train. After work, I grabbed a train at Flinders Station, platform 8, that was headed down to Brighton Beach. I had seen a postcard or two from the area and thought it would be fun to shoot. Turns out I was right. The sun came out as I riding down, and since it had been raining, there was virtually no one as far as the eye could see. I posted the pictures for your enjoyment in my ongoing photo gallery for this trip. Just CLICK HERE to open it up... I'm not sure what it is, but something about riding on a train while listening to music seems to unclog the synapses, and I start to fire on all cylinders. I worked out a technical issue that I couldn't solve at work sitting in from of my laptop, I had rush of ideas for a screenplay/shortstory that I'm wanting to write, and had a good idea for a hook to a song. Maybe it's the kinetic 'white noise' of the shuttering car and the strobing of shawdows as they pass the window. I wonder if I could buy a train car off Ebay, put it on those rolling cylinders they use in a body shop to balance your tires, and mount the whole thing in my living room? I could even put ruts in the cyclinder to simulate the clacking of tracks. Hmm. |
