			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.rockethorse.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/bridge-dusk.jpg"   ><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-428" title="bridge-dusk" src="http://www.rockethorse.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/bridge-dusk.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">This railroad bridge struck me as being very symmetric.  Waiting for a train to pass and allowing it to blur across the image added a visual element that contributed to this symmetry.  The subjects here are the bridge and the symmetry &#8211; this is why the train is blurred &#8211; so that it doesn&#8217;t distract from the subjects.  I like h0w the warm glow of the trains interior contrasts with the dusk outside.  After completing this, I wondered how the scene would change in the daytime.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.rockethorse.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/bridge-day.jpg"   ><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-429" title="bridge-day" src="http://www.rockethorse.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/bridge-day.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="400" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">In the full daylight, one of the big differences is that we can see the ribbon of color that is the train blurring past.  The graffiti on the column below the bridge is more noticeable.  The colors are different.  But the subjects remain the same.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I frequently photograph what some people might consider boring; things that engineers get really excited about. I can&#8217;t say that any of my engineering photography adorns my home, but maybe it should.  These are things that we, people who use buildings, take for granted.  Large buildings need large pieces of equipment to run.  Consider these:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.rockethorse.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/air-conditioner.jpg"   ><img src="http://www.rockethorse.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/air-conditioner.jpg" alt="" title="air-conditioner" width="400" height="266" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-71" /></a><br />
Above we have a very large air conditioner.  I would hate to have the electric bill on this thing!</p>
