It is a very nice and spectacular image.  The way linear items, such as tree trunks and poles are splayed toward the corners of the image, and the exaggerated super-elevation, that would be from a wide angle lens?

 Crandell,

Thanks for the comment.  I can tell you the trees are wind-swept and the poles are not very straight.  The photo was made at 28mm, so there may be a little distortion from that angle, but not this much.  It really is just really elevated in this location. 

Thanks again,

Ryan

 Here is an aerial view of the location.

I do not find Drano Lake on a BNSF map, or that name in the employee timetable. Please assist us with locating this site with BNSF names.  Thanks
