Mesa Light Rail

This morning was a gorgeous – bright blue sky filled with drifting cumulus clouds.  After a week filled with meetings and editing, I wanted to get outside and shoot, so I grabbed the camera early and wandered down to the new light rail station recently opened on the western edge of Mesa.  I started shooting on the platform, but was quickly chased off by a security guard.  What is it with this bizarre paranoia about photographers?  In any case, I got a  few shots on the platform and then started moving around to various vantage points  around the station.  I liked this image both because of the beautiful sky in the background, but also because the sleek, modern train and station provide a nice contrast to other images I have of the older, fustier Mesa.
