Once upon a time this tower was used to spot trains as they came into the rail yard. They were also used to relay information and keep an eye out for security issues. I've sketched this area several times, but I wanted to encompass the whole scene. I may have stopped short, but I like the way this turned out.
8x24 400 Strathmore Sketch
"I see narrow orders, limited tightness, but will
not run to that easy victory:
still around the looser, wider forces work:
I will try
to fasten into order
enlarging grasps of disorder, widening
scope, but enjoying the freedom that
Scope eludes my grasp, that there is no finality of vision,
that I have perceived nothing completely,
that tomorrow a new walk is a new walk."
