Excellent picture and also beautiful arrangement with the rope. I like it!
B&W pics are one thing, but changing this into a sepia print gives it the real touch of an old photograph, say, from the beginning 20th century.
I used to tone b&w photographs to a sepia color in the darkroom by treating them with some chemicals. Today it is of course much more comfortable with a computer - and it stinks a lot less!
Just got such a pic down from the wall and scanned it in. Only now I detected that it aged even more, aquiring a blue-greyish hue in some parts. Now it look REALLY old. (BTW, I made it in 1978.)

This is the archbar truck of a D&RGW boxcar, standing on a disply track beside the Gunnison CO depot in 1977 - together with C-16 #278 and a Caboose. (Note that there is no fishplate between the rails, which aren't nailed to the ties, either! Sloppy trackwork, even on a display track, I'd say!
