Addition

This picture has inspired ~havenLies to write a poem:

tangle of threads
like some urban jungle just a little too
empty.
nothing stirs here,
where the roads are,
metal paths
laid down to guide us on our way;
like the tracks of Charon
left in the water,
as he guides us to our final resting place.

I would say the picture was taken here in Portugal, if I didn't know you're from Austria.

Excellent job. I will give you a fav for this.

Thank you!

Portugal, you say? Interesting. So now I know there's a railway station in Portugal that looks like this one here. Then it will feel like home, should I visit there one day.

sombersoul In reply to m0rgana [2006-02-09 00:40:28 +0000 UTC]

There are many reasons to like Portugal. The most important one being the great people who live there who I know.

a good shot. not entirely hopeless vibes, though. you can still jump on the tracks...
most promising

sombersoul In reply to icestation [2005-02-17 11:13:43 +0000 UTC]

Yeah. But since the railway station depicted is a terminus, not even that might prove successful.

Thank you very much indeed! It's good to see people still discover this piece. I'm a big sepia tone fan (obviously) and I wanted to create a sense of ending, perhaps in a dead end, who knows. Thanks for commenting!

Thanks! But I'd fancy Australia quite a bit, too. Especially because Austria is often mistaken for it.

I was lucky that all of the lights were red at the time. And then, a few Photoshop steps later, I got this picture.

as quartier-Bresson said - to take a good photo you only have to push the trigger at the right moment...

But the trick is to have the camera ready at the right moment and that was undoubtly the case here

The contrast between the rails and the rest of the ground, and the cables and the sky, and the parallel between the rails and the cables really makes the picture for me...
