Alhambra Viaduct, Martinez, CA, 2010.

Captured with a 45mm shifting and tilt/swing lens and a DSLR camera. A bit of swing kept the side of the trestle in sharp focus, and a bit of shift enabled the framing.
This long, tall trestle on the BNSF railroad is also known as the “John Muir Trestle”. People far bolder than I had tagged it with graffiti.
This is mostly a study in lines and convergence.
@mattblaze No passenger service in my time, so I’ve never been there.
@oclsc There’s Amtrak service to Martinez, but it’s on the UP, not the BNSF, so its a bit of a walk to the trestle. But do-able if you’re sufficiently ambitious (and some nice trails there).
