Gandy Dancer

You might be able to tell by the redness in my cheeks or the shininess of my face but it was more 80 degrees outside of the trains and a good deal warmer inside them when I took these pictures. These train cars will be quite inhospitable in the height of summer, although I will be gone from this state before then. Thankfully this dress is lightweight enough that I didn't melt into a complete puddle from my brief sojourn here. I'm addicted to the sort of off-beat color of this dress; it's something between purple and grey--I rather like between things that are neither here nor there and defy simple explanation...
