I took this photo is 1981 in Skagway, Alaska with my Nikon FM. I was a teenager and this slide has been burried with its mates ever since.

The delicacy and vibrant colours of fireweed stand in stark contrast to the hard cold brown of rusting steel. This scene was shot in the WP&YR yard in Skagway, Alaska.
