This photo, shot on Sept. 10, 2006, benefits from being reprocessed with the new software from NIK. See what you think. It is difficult to believe it's been a year and three quarters since I visited this spot. As you might imagine I remember the two nights spent here well. Approaching westbounds headlights cause the abandoned bore to the left to glow with a ghostly yellowish light, adding to the pitch dark atmosphere in here during the middle of the night! The curved tunnel is long enough to amplify the roar of the locomotives inside before their headlights are seen as well. "Many" eastbounds had passed by me earlier in the evening here, and I suspect any westbounds they encountered later were made aware of my being set-up here awaiting their appearance at the west portal. Another very dramatic location at night, I have to get back down here this year! For those list members who are stangers to this area, State Line Tunnel is located in New York, close to the Massachusetts state line, with Canaan Center, NY being the closest town. Roughly forty five miles east of Albany. Shot at 01:58 on Sept. 10. 2006 with the 5D and Canons 100/1 lens set at f2.8. Please enjoy! Comments are welcomed.

All The Best in 2008;
