New Material in Familiar Places

Most photographers have their typical “haunts” where they hang out and shoot a lot of material.  For me, because of my interest in railroading, I have shot a lot of material around the train yards and Amtrak depot in my hometown.

Despite the fact I’ve been down there literally hundreds of times, and shot several hundred photos, last week while browsing Flickr I found a shot that someone had taken that was new to me.  It was a simple composition looking down the tracks onto the drawbridge while the bridge was open.  I’ve used my eyes to look at that same scene a hundred times.  How come I never snapped the shutter?
