This composition had eluded me for nearly a decade, but yesterday I was finally able to capture it. A train rolled through just as the Duquesne Incline was crossing over the tracks in #Pittsburgh, creating a picture perfect winter scene. It was worth the hours and hours I've waited over the years.

I've started to work in just 20 minutes of paper-reading a day and it's both helped me learn how to read papers faster and rekindled my interest in science. Highly recommended!
