This is the final post for Photography In Place.

After seven and a half years, it is time to move on. Many thanks to everyone who has followed along over the years. If you have any interest in railroad photography, I hope that you will check out The Trackside Photographer, a website dedicated to the railroad landscape that I started last March.

Have a great weekend, and as always, thanks for reading Photography In Place.
