Sparta Train

The old converted railroad tunnels (now bike trails) between Sparta and Elroy provided a cool photography opportunity. They were completely dark to the eye in the middle. So, I placed the camera on the ground, set it to a long exposure, and snapped away. I couldn't see the camera at all, so had to do focus manually and do all the settings in the dark. It was a real challenge. Finally, I got the shot below.
