Perfect example of making a firm abstract form out of something recognizable, I like it! Tks. for your railroad-crossing comment, I replied to it.

I tried to reply to your comment but there was no reply link for whatever reason so I do it here:
I can imagine, I wanted to keep the little house on the pic, but the train was faster than the shutter, especially older digital cameras open their shutters later than you press the button, the newest and most expensive ones do it almost immediately. Nevertheless I found the result interesting because of the three elementary colors: blue, red and yellow dominating the pic without being pushy. The blue and yellow of the train merge in the grass into green. On top of that, black and white are also prominentlly joining the color party. I'm getting proud of myself so I stop here.
