I took this photo in the beautiful town of Syracuse, IN. This is a long exposure of a semi going over the tracks. I waited for a rainy night to take this shot because it brings out detail on the road.

    i like where the shot was taken from, it seems that the camera is pointing upwards, that enhances the feeling of the picture even more
    interesting and great shot :-)

    Nice and simple. Love the how the grain elevator in the background is lit up during the slow exposure.
