    Dette var et flott knippe bilder John. God dybde i de tre siste :)
    Happy skywatch! Og fortsatt god påske der nede :)

    Nå er tåken så tykk her opp at vi ser snaut over til naboen.
    Ang bildet mitt så var det litt mer "påskefrukt", hehe.

    I'm fascinated by trains and railways. I live fairly near to tracks that run from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific here in Canada.

    Your trains look very, very different from the ones we have here. The tracks looks similar though. I like your photos very much!

    Det var mej ett stiligt tåg. Sedan måste jag riktigt rulla upp och ner för att bestämma mig vilken av tågskensbilderna jag gillar mest. Det blev nog den aldra sista bilden som blev favoriten den här gången. Låg du på magen? LOL.

    Even your train tracks are powerful images. It is the prespective that is so eye catching.

    I like the low perspective on the train tracks - it makes for a very dramatic picture

    I just love the trains in Europe - they do not compare to what we have here...

    Such BIG blue skies! Makes me feel kind of dizzy when I look at them, not sure why, maybe I'm being drawn into the photo?

    I do very much like these railroad photos - and the rusty cars too!

    I would visit more often only I find the page takes terribly long to load on my computer.

    Du er god på skywatching!! Bruker dere polfilter på sånne bilder? Fantastisk sug inn, særlig i nr. 2 og 4, synes jeg.

    Dette er bilder som gleder sønnen av en gammel jernbanemann. Spesielt det første - du skulle lagt ved en fullstendig oversettelse for amerikanerne :-)

    Thanks for clearing that up for me... I had no idea what those signs said!

    I astonished at the color you're able to pull out of an ordinary rail bed. Truly remarkable.

    Excellent work as always!
