Poltergeist

This is a series of old trestles at Lock Ridge Furnace. This image was exposed using a single flashlight as the light source using a technique called Painting With Light.

"The Master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his education and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence in whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he is always doing both."

This is a great shot and a really cool use of flashlight painting. I love the texture and golden rich color. I think I would photoshop out the bright spot of light in the center (leave the "doorway" black). Fabulous photo, Russ!
