The Cumbres & Toltec train runs between Colorado and New Mexico. The remote rail line, though far from roads, is accessible to hikers. I caught this one early summer day with partially overcast skies high in the mountains near the state line. The engineer blew the smokestack, perhaps for me, perhaps coincidentally, I'll never know.
I shot it with a Nikon D700 at 1/250 second, F13 with a 24-70 Nikkor lens at a focal length of 24 mm. The red needle rock and patch of blue sky were serendipitous gifts.
