“This week’s topic is Tracks – trains, rail tracks anything to do with tracks.  For those who remember my Cee’s Which Way Challenge you were allowed to show train tracks, but not trains unless you could see the actual tracks too.  In this challenge you can show off your train photos as well.  Have fun with this challenge this week. ”

Well…I don’t seem to have many (any) pictures of tracks in my archives.  And there are no tracks nearby for me to take pictures of (we don’t have trains any more on the island, although there has been talk of bringing them back…)  I do, however, have a couple of pictures of trains in the distance from a trip back home to the prairies a couple of years ago.  Nothing like long trains on the horizon!
