Nice forest photo with colorful patch of the little train. I like photos like this one, because of the composition.
Thank you for sharing, Jalab

Hallo Richard!
A somehow touching little train - in a really wonderful and obviously near to nature scenery. Truly a not everyday means of transport.
Greetings from again coolerGermany!

Hi Richard,
Nice luminous train scene, it seems a combination of latvian (re)design on the lok with still soviet design on the carriage.
Have a nice day JY

Hello Richard,
A train and birches, two different components that together make a very beautiful picture.
I think it must have been a wonderful trainride.
Best regards, Paul

Hi Richard,
Now, on this place the little train looks more being in it's natural environment. Rusty rails that on summertime must almost disappear on the grass. And big trees on background. Very nice on this sunny weather.

Appealing shot, Richard. The pattern of the birch trees provides a pleasant backdrop for the simple little train passing in front. Well seen and captured.

Hello Richard,
Great composition. I like how you have framed this one, with the 'birches' making a beautiful, natural background.
I also like the contrast between the 'modern' train engine and the 'old fashioned' carriage - and the mismatch in sizes.
Best regards,
Andrew

Unusual...just to set the record straight, I believe most of the trees in the background are poplars but there are a few white birches peeking through as well...
