I find myself wandering between the feeling of nostalgia to when I used to go find train tracks to explore what random things I could find and the feeling of pride I feel when thinking about how most train tracks are created.

These two feelings linger as I try to find the best words to explain what I feel about the technical aspects of it. Instead of creating a rational thought to form the words I find myself with a sort of pulsing happiness that make me feel good and as if I were in the picture walking towards the infinity beyond my horizon.
As I try to analyze the feeling that is pulsing in my soul I create a world around it and many an hour I make the world more and more alive in my mind, the lone soul walking towards a doom of his own device.

The path if you wish, that goes into the horizon is a classical portray of how our perspective create illusions that make things seem more grandiose or more insignificant than it really is. By that I mean, that the perspective illusion that make the tracks go into the infinity makes this choice of position a great one. Allthough it isn't a new concept to take a picture of a railroad track that goes into the infinity. Though the title does add to my vision of what this piece of art tried to pass on to me.

To sum it up, you did a good job by my standards though this have been done before, and the title added a lot to the picture.
