Hello Hive Community.

I hope you all are fine. I am also fine here. My post today is based on a different contest whose topic is "Metal". Today's post is based on a different contest whose topic is "Metal". As I told you here, today's post is based on a contest whose topic is Metal. When it comes to metal, how can we not remember train tracks. For today's contest, photographs of rail tracks have been presented here. In this post I have presented many photographs to you. In which the first photographs will be accepted for this contest.

So if I talk about my post, I make six posts in a week. Out of which three posts are based on contests. Three posts are based on photographs and visiting new places. These three contests in which I am participating are my favorite contests. Out of which Qurator's Photo Quest Contest is the one I like the most. And in today's contest, the subject of photography was to be presented on the topic of Metal. India's rail network is very vast. And you will find rail tracks everywhere. One such rail track junction is presented to you here through photographs. In the two photographs above, the metal separator separating the tracks has been captured and presented.

Above I have presented two photographs to you. In the first photograph of the two photographs, you can see a close-up view of the part of the Track Mechanism attached to the side of the railway track. The mechanism seen in the first photograph is mostly known as the track switch or coupling mechanism. This coupling mechanism is made of strong metal and has been greased with black paint. Perhaps it may be to protect it from rust and weather. In this picture, we can clearly see how the parts of the railway are made to be strong and last for a long time. If we look carefully in the middle part of the photo, we can see a spring-loaded device. There is a metal arm or lever on its side. Which seems to be a part of the switching system. This is a method used to change the direction of the train from one track to another. We see stones under the metal parts. These stones are placed under and around the railway track. So that this metal track can be kept stable and in place.

By the way, each photograph in today's post is taken from a very low angle. Almost at ground level which gives a unique and artistic perspective. Between the rail tracks we can see strong concrete sleepers placed at regular intervals which keep the tracks in place. As can be seen in the photograph, some green plants are growing on the right side of the track. This small touch of nature adds a nice contrast to the hard, industrial look of the iron rails and stone base. This photo beautifully blends man-made structures with natural elements. This photograph is an example that even places built for machines find their own way to develop nature.

hope that my post and photographs are selected in the Qurator's Photo Quest Contest "Metal".

I sincerely thank you for visiting and reading my post.
