A lonely tree
One more location to cross off the list. Although I may one day return for a freight train, and some sunshine. Continue reading A lonely tree

New bridges
In the meanwhile, the date for me moving out of Antwerp was coming closer. With only a few months left, I wanted to make photos at some locations I’d had in mind for a while but never got to.

Whistling, throwing grass, … nothing could make the horses understand what I actually wanted. But it all turned out ok in the end. See, no stress 🙂 Continue reading Feed the horse

The international freight corridor to Germany had bitten me. 2 days after my previous visit, I visited the section between Montzen and Aachen. This is one of the spots I still wanted to get here. Saturday mornings can be busy, so I didn’t have to wait long for this train to pass. At a slow speed it passes the Moresnet viaduct, in the last uphill … Continue reading Up in the air
