The Train again...








Note: My good friend and excellent photographer Dagrun suggested me to post this pic in "The weekend in Black and White", a great blog for those who like B&W photography, maybe some of you already know it, but anyway, why don´t you give it a try??

 Hope it may be a good idea. For me, it is actually quite bold enough to show and share my pics in a blog, so imagine how do i feel by being part of a group and post along with so many other wonderful jobs,,yep, a little nervous, but let´s see what happen isn´t it ??

And thanks for the support Dagrun =)

I have a new appreciation for trains since the arrival of my grandson who is passionate about them.

This train in your photo is brilliant in black and white. And where is it headed? Bergkrystallen?

Thanks Alberto.

Hi Elisabeth. I love these trains because they are so cute and oldies that resembles a big toy. They make all the way up from Oslo´s "Bergkrystallen" to the mountains surrounding the city. This pic was took in the last station "Frognerseteren" located in the middle of the woods, up in the mountains. To have a metro that takes you from downtown to the woods in just a few minutes is something that seems absolutely fabulous for me. Nice you like it. Have a nice day =)

Dette motivet likte jeg veldig godt i B/W ... noen ganger blir det bare fenomenalt bra uten farger !? Et godt eksempel du her deler med oss

Trains stimulate our imagination ...
This picture has an incredible shine!
The clouds are great!
I really enjoyed.

Unfortunately in my country
not value the railway transportation
...
have a great weekend

Alberto Oliver said...

Yes Li!! that is what i love about trains,,they always prompt you to travel again and again...It is so nice to hear that you liked it. It is a shame what you say about your country and railways,,but, accept my pic as a gift in compensation of that lack =) Have a nice weekend you too.

Utrolig kult bilde, likte det kjempe godt ! Elsker monocrome, har bare ikke lært meg det , ennå.

Dagrun said...

SÅ veldig bra bilde!!!! (Har du ikke lyst til å delta i The weekend in b&wh? Det burde du jo...)

Julie said...

Such clarity you have achieved here, Alberto. Same of course in the colour version, however here the mesh fence fits in better.

I travel mainly by train now that I am no longer able to drive. I really enjoy the absence of pressure and stress and can just sit back and enjoy the passing scenery. Good to see you posting on the meme and hope to see you back next week too.

Welcome to The Weekend in Black and White.
The colour version of your train is great, with such vibrant colour, but I'm so glad you posted it in black and white. It's an excellent shot, with so much detail, and even fine reflections. A perfect monochrome!

Har du rest tillbaks i tiden med detta tåg? Det känns som gammal tid. Underbart vacker bild :)
Kram och trevlig söndag

Charlotte - FO² said...

Det er jo ett innmari tøft motiv! knallbilde! Og det passet kjempe bra i s/h, ikke dumt forslag :)

Du må ha en fortsatt fin søndag.

stor klem

Taidan pitää tästä kuvasta enemmän mustavalkoisena. Kuvassa on nyt enemmän tunnelmaa! Terveisiä myrskyisestä Pohjois-Suomesta, eilen oli kova myrsky ja illaksi luvaksi lisää..

Antonia said...

Wow! Very dramatic and artistic! I like this train more then the red one :) Cheers!

John McDevitt said...

Who needs color! This image is so much better as B&W.

Denise Scaramai said...

Alberto,
I found a great idea and it is clear that you added
much will this other blog BW!

thus, the picture is more dramatic, almost surreal
and color is very expressive!
therefore the art has endless possibilities ...

a big hug my friend!

Alberto Oliver said...
