I found this tag where we parked our cars down the hill from the Tunnel 13 site. What do you suppose he's smoking?! :D This image was taken on Saturday, November 12, 2100.

I was looking around for interesting shots and when I turned around, I saw Steve talking to one of the people in our photography club. Two very cool people, sharing a moment together. :) This image was taken on Saturday, November 12, 2100.

When I saw this, I just about fell over. Nature, left to its own devices, brings us the most beautiful sights, don't you agree? This image was taken on Saturday, November 12, 2100.

Looks like the grafitti artists were feeling good with this tag! This image was taken on Saturday, November 12, 2100.

Sitting on the side of the tracks near the entrance to Tunnel 13 was this axle with set of wheels. I have seen a picture of this with the other axle intact, sitting on the tracks, but I guess someone decided to make off with one set. A shame, but still an interesting image!

This is one of a stack of bolts on one building and I loved the textures and colors on it! This image was taken on Saturday, November 12, 2100.

The ceiling within the train tunnel was like a rib cage, and I couldn't help myself from taking many different photos! This image was taken on Saturday, November 12, 2100.

On the other side of the tunnel, the train track emerged into the bright sunshine and made its way around a bend. Above, a jet stream painted a pretty streak throught the sky. This image was taken on Saturday, November 12, 2100.

This is another image from inside Tunnel 13, with a neat lens flare. I've uploaded 5 more pictures from our photography trip to Tunnel 13, south of Ashland, Oregon. I hope you enjoy them! :) Thanks to all of you who have left comments and fav'ed my images! I appreciate them all! If you leave a comment, I try very hard to return the favor on the same day. I consider it both a compliment that you've taken the time to tell me what you think about my image(s) and an invitation for me to come see your photography as well! By the way, for those of you who may not know, there is a very fun, free Flickr competition site which you might like to take part in.

While the beautiful black dog was bounding around and having fun, this lovely golden dog was on leash and straining to be free to run. Eventually, (s)he met the black dog and they got along without incident, so both of them were free to run and play. I love the expression here. so interested and intelligent!

This particular image was perfect for turning into a selective color shot--only the bolt was colorful! This image was taken on Saturday, November 12, 2100.

Outside the tunnel, there were a number of abandoned buildings. A couple of them had rows of icicles on the edges of the roofs. Nature's jewelry! :) This image was taken on Saturday, November 12, 2100.

Here's another view of the cool interior of Tunnel 13. One of the people in our group, Andy Spliethof, pointed out that where the tunnel was "ribbed", it was much quieter. He was right! The echoes inside were mostly absent where the ceiling was contoured, and bounced off every surface where the ceiling was just smoothed. This image was taken on Saturday, November 12, 2100.

This is my next set of 5 images from our trip to Tunnel 13. This one shows a train track which has two rails on it, used for directing trains from one track to another. I've always been fascinated about how trains are moved about on the tracks, and this shows a very important part of how it's done! Thanks to all of you who have left comments and fav'ed my images!

Have you ever walked through a train tunnel before???!! I got to do this today!! Tunnel 13 is an old abandoned train tunnel just south of Ashland, Oregon, and was the destination of our photography club. You can--and we did--walk from one side to the other, and what a special adventure that was. I walked through by myself without a flashlight; the light from either end of this tunnel made enough light to see my way. At several points I stopped and just listened. The frosty breeze blew past my face, and it was completely, utterly silent except for the dripping of water from above, splashing into inky black pools below. The cold air smelled damp but clean, like the smell of snow, and each end of the tunnel was white with light, and usually had at least one photographer there, taking pictures of this extremely cool place. I feel very lucky to have had this experience, and hopefully you will enjoy my pictures that I'll be posting over the next few days of the tunnel and area around it! Tonight I'm posting 5 pictures...ENJOY! Thanks to all of you who have left comments and fav'ed my images! I appreciate them all!

Two of the photographers brought their dogs, and this is one of them! This happy girl was celebrating her second time on an adventure without a leash, and she had a grand time bounding through the snow and following everyone around. Such a happy girl! :) This image was taken on Saturday, November 12, 2100.

I don't know what this building was but I liked the graffiti that covered it! This image was taken on Saturday, November 12, 2100.
