Lilly : This is the busiest railroad I could find right now . . it might even be an old tramway.
Ronnie : Well, we took up track like that when The Rocket retired.in 1834.
Lilly : Rockets? We got those.

another great creative piece, have to look closely to see where the two join, love the symmetry of this and the different styles of tracks

Well done again, and well planned. Both are aerial view, interesting how you were able to work that.
One so old and one very new. Like JJ I cannot tell where they join, remarkable.

@Barbara: :
Thank you, Barabara. Yes, we were saying yesterday ourselves that it looked a bit like the 3D View on Virtual Earth but, in fact, we each stood on a bridge and looked down !

Great work, the lines curving are just amazing, one for the show.

This must be the proverbial 'fork in the road', but which way to go? I always wonder if one road really just leads to the one that was not chosen. Life in a loop of sorts...brilliant in thought, the conversation is just a bonus :)

Curves On the left and on the right, The letters L and R are in good position :) Nice divergence of trails, a great idea again.

Another wonderful idea! I'm always saying that, but it's so true! Great lines!

Calusarus from St Sorlin en Valloire, France
Nice shot. Il almost looks like a model…

@Calusarus: :
(from Lilly and Ronnie) Thanks, Calusarus . . that's one of the things we said ourselves about this one or that it looked like something from VirtualEarth in BirdsEye ! It must be because of the viewpoint.

The most important thing is to keep track of things, for example autumn in the left and summer in the right half of this fine composition. :-)

@MadScientist: :
(from Ronnie) . . well, in fact, the images were made on the very same day - I guess it is the effect of 'England's green and pleasant land' ! Not that anyone talks about that, these days . . .

Question: do you talk about how you would shoot a picture? your photos are always well-thought of e.g. irony of the subject matter, composition, etc.
your big fan,

@Photographs by M.E.: :
(from Ronnie) Thanks, M.E. Each posting has different origins. With this one, Lily had taken the shot of the old track which we felt had pairing potential and I went looking for something that related. I guess the art is to match the underlying characteristics while creating a worthwhile discussion contrast.
Richard_Irwin from Belper, United Kingdom
No matter how many directions you two take, your tracks always seem parallel, so I bet the tracks meet up in the end.

Great juxtaposition of images, a really great contrast!

If I need a chuckle, all I have to do is visit your wonderful blog!

two rails diverged in a green wood-like place, and sorry i could not travel both, and be one traveler long i stood... nevermind, just got me thinking frost for some reason... nice shot. i love taking trains but they're so expensive around here, we really need to invest in more, better, faster, more accessible, less expensive public transport in the US!

This is amazing! Your ability to find perfect match and to merge those photos together is incredible!

I think we're really late for the one on the left.

Skillful combination. Looks like the track on the left needs some maintenance though.
