Sunday Showcase: Fog + Snow + Railways

in GEMS4 years ago

I will end this week with a repost of a post of mine I made on Nov 12 2019. It contains shots taken at the rail yard on a snowy and day. There's a side track right next to a public bike path. The weather conditions were so good that the opportunity was too good to pass up.

Here's a link to the original:

I went to pick up my daughter from school. When I got to the school, it turns out I came too early. Well, I decided to make use of the time and went down to the railway to shoot the following. There is a bike path run that runs along the railway that is part of the street network. It's easy to shoot the trains with a long lens from there.

These cars on the sidetrack are Russian. They've been here for as long as I remember.

I like this both in black and white as well as in color. Which one do you prefer?

Took this on the way back to my car.

The Z-line is part of the local train system of Helsinki Metropolitan Area. Lahti is the terminus about one hour from Helsinki main railway station.
