The goal of this trip was to enjoy freedom, sunlight and trains. Starting from my home I let the weather forecast lead me to my next destination. That meant not knowing beforehand where I’d eat and … Continue reading In 3 days from Ghent to Semmering
Reminiscent of the long days (VII)
Standing in the Pyhrn valley with a warm jacket on, I’m looking at the surrounding mountains with their trees in autumn foliage. What a difference with June 30th of this year’s when I was waiting for the evening Steel train to Ghent. A t-shirt was more than sufficient while setting up the pole for this train that you can only shoot with these lighting conditions … Continue reading Reminiscent of the long days (VII)
New page: the scenic Koper railway
The Koper railway refers to the single track rail line connecting the port of Koper with Divača and leading further into Slovenia. It’s a very scenic line, curving its way down to sea level coming from 500+ meters. Within the railfan community it’s most well-known for the spectacular photo locations between Koper and Črnotiče. By the end of next year, one of two new tunnels … Continue reading New page: the scenic Koper railway

Rhodopen railway
In may 2018, with 3 friends we managed to get a week off duty in order to undertake a trip to Bulgaria. Purpose of the trip: discover what Bulgaria’s railway scene has to offer. Immediately after getting off the plane we headed to Septemvri for an afternoon on the Rhodopen railway, which connects Septemvri to Dobrinishte. It serves for tourism, but is also an essential … Continue reading Rhodopen railway
Sunrise to sunset
I find the best photo days those that I can freely spend from sunrise until sunset and just follow the flow. The flow of trains, the light, particular sights I have in mind. And so it happened on April 5th. Around sunrise I was driving east when I decided that a first picture would be welcome. A few were coming my way, and I managed … Continue reading Sunrise to sunset
Berlin marathon 2023
Last weekend took place the 49th Berlin marathon. The organization also foresees a separate marathon for roller skaters. After enjoying and finishing this fantastic event on wheels on Saturday, I spent Sunday touring the city and spotting the marathon for the 48.000 runners. Like here at the Jannowitzbrücke, where not coincidentally a Eurocity to Warsaw happened to pass by. Continue reading Berlin marathon 2023
Morocco day 6: on the lookout for DF100’s
The last full day in Morocco! We started in Nador, where we ended up last night in our search for a hotel. The hotel was good so we started the day all refreshed. This line was our last hope to see a DF 100 locomotive in action. Somewhere we had read that these locomotives run freight trains here. Well, all we got to see was … Continue reading Morocco day 6: on the lookout for DF100’s
Morocco day 4: from electric to diesel trains
We took our time to enjoy breakfast, and the stunning view over Meknes from the rooftop terrace of our riad. Today we would move east, following the electrified line to Fès, to continue on the diesel line to Oujda and Taourirt. On this diesel line, we would have most chance to maybe still catch a DF diesel loco. Judging the satellite images, the section between … Continue reading Morocco day 4: from electric to diesel trains
