Destination Rio Grande - Limited Edition of 15 Photograph

This image is entitled 'Destination Rio Grande'. Produced in the Bolivian desert, this image is a poignant example of how more than a century ago - the advent of railways opened access to hinterlands across the globe. This was an extraordinary location to work at; hot, dusty and just awe inspiring in its scale. A broadly featureless landscape edged with a dramatic skyline of distant hills. The rails themselves converge deep into the desert's late afternoon haze. Laid in the late nineteenth-century yet still in use to this day, this railway line is testimony to the navvies who endured extreme working conditions through its construction. How daunting must it have been for those people who traversed these harsh, remote places before the railways were laid? An overwhelming memory of this location was of its complete silence; no road traffic, no aircraft overhead, no people, not even a faint breeze, just complete and beautiful silence. Only when exposed to 'complete silence' is it possible to appreciate its rarity. ‘Destination Rio Grande’ was captured using a full-frame Canon DSLR camera.
