An afterwork on August 25 led me to a location close by home. This train seemed to run every Monday evening and after some photos in the port of Ghent I headed to Astene to try out a new location. With some luck I would still be on time. While the sun was sinking behind the trees, I could see the shadows grow by the … Continue reading Reminiscent of the long days (XI)
Summer is, yet again, over. Short days of fall and winter make us long for those long days again.On Friday June 13 I was on my way to Sint-Martens-Voeren for an overnight stay. My plan to still make some photos was largely spoilt by a huge traffic jam. Fortunately I could still see this Medway train on it’s way to Germany, while enjoying pasta on … Continue reading Reminiscent of the long days (IV)

Summer is, yet again, over. Short days of fall and winter make us long for those long days again. I’ll show a few photos the coming time that were shot at moments when today light is out. I start with a photo taken in Brugge-Sint-Pieters. Vegetation on the embankment near the station was shaved off completely, allowing the sun to light the trains until sunset.

To end the day I chose a spot in a field to sit, relax, and wait for what’s coming. Before the loco-hauled TER I could score 2 freight trains. Good enough for me, time to end the day with some local fast-food. Continue reading To end the day

This picture wasn’t meant to be made originally. I had made a photo of it at 16:45 in Grammene. With no more cargo trains expected and a family waiting at home, I decided to call it a day. 8 bicycle-kilometers later I found the same train standing still at Deinze station. There might still be a possibility. Thanks to the new bicycle highway between Deinze … Continue reading For the fun of it
I temporarily ended my journey along the Elbe river at Dolni Berkovice. The railway line runs along the river here, as does a bike lane on the other bank. This makes for comfortable waiting. Add to this that freight trains were numerous, and I could call the evening a success. Continue reading End of the day on the river bank
At the end of our vitamin-D cure at the French riviera, we took the train back home: night train from Nice to Paris, a TGV from Paris to Lille and a car ride for the final leg home. Right before departure out of Nice, I took these photos of our train ready to drive off into the setting sun. The night was not as refreshing … Continue reading Snorring to Paris
