PROWLING IN THE DEPTHS - SIERRA TRAIN TUNNELS
This is a shot that we took of Moby up in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, inside a old abandoned train snow shed near Donner Summit. This specific shot was actually taken at a point where the the snow shed transitioned into a tunnel burrowed into the mountain and so lighting was at a minimal.

Unfortunately, Union Pacific was in the process of installing gates to lock up these amazing and historical snow sheds and so, access to them in the near future will most likely be restricted. We feel fortunate that we were able to enter into them one last time and take this shot.

I had no idea what a snow shed was so I looked it up. Now I know.
