That's one hell of a shot. Any idea what track it came from? I can pull some information from the shot (like it was taken on 2008:05:18), but the photographer didn't embed any info other than the basic that the camera records.

And if I was to guess, I'd say that the "cell phone" is the left side peg hanger.
