Looks too short for a railroad tunnel...a dry creekbed perhaps? I love the light shining through, it guides the eye through the tunnel.

@Chris Parr: Thanks Chris. Its a rough track that leads from an old limestone quarry which passes under a lane which crosses that bridge above. Nowadays it is a footpath for walkers.

The grain of this film enhances the texture and roughness of the old rock wall. Nice perspective and light. Excellent BW work.

@Rui: I used 400 ISO film for its grainy characteristics. I'm still learning about scanning, and enjoying every experiment.

the light and shadows make this moody, I'm waiting to see who's going to be running thru any minute. The texture of the brick is nice also

nice light. I really like the way the composition seems to pull the viewer in through the tunnel.
