Back to work Photo

Photographer’s Note

In a number of European countries, the beginning of september marks the end of the summer holiday, school start for the children and return to work (and TE browsing ;-) ) for their parents. In Appenzell people wake up earlier, so they have already started again some time ago, here you see Appenzeller on their way to work using competing transportation options, the private car and the ever red Appenzellerbahnen local train.
Note also how the communication axes (for cars, trains and electrical power) are kept together to minimize their impact on the landscape and probably as well to avoid complicated property ownership cases when building.

excellent picture.
thanks, ciao

dareco (17104) 2007-09-03 1:25

Very pretty. An interesting note as well. I enjoy seeing the mountains in the background. Nice POV. TFS

Morning JY,
Back to work? I am already working whole summer ;-)
First i thought that without the car it would be better, but it's a VW, so it should stay ;-)
The red of the train makes the difference here, for contrast and the curve he is making. Those big mountains in the back give us the feeling of Swiss at is best..very nice.
Have a nice day, Henk

Yes is such a pity that summer is almost gone. This is our last long weekend of the summer and people usually take advantage of it to have some fun before children go back to school. Good image and interesting architectural designs. I agree the lines, rails and road look better together. The colours and perspective of the image are very good. Thanks Jean Yves.

Salut Jean-Yves,
Alors ca y est, tu vas travailler ? non, pardon plutôt pouvoir passer encore plus de temps sur TE ;-)
Y a pas à dire, ces trains rouges sont vraiment photogéniques et permettent de claquer un maximum.
J'ai beaucoup ri aussi avec tes haches de communication :o) savais pas que les Suisses étaient devenus aussi violents !
Bonne journée à toi.
Amicalement, Christian

Hi Jean.

Back to work....argggg, an awful thing....... :P

A nice idea how they kept together the communication axes. In Spain, it will be a complete caos...

About the picture excellent colours but I like the background. It's great!

Rgs, Oscar

ben quoi mon cher JY,
tu ne poste pas une vue de San Marino le jour de leur fete nationale?
bon au moins le rouge du train contraste bien dans ta photo du jour ;o)
bonne journée

Hi Jean Yves
The first matter in your shot that attract viewr is paradox between Railroad and car road and this is an art of photography.use of moments and taking a shot with nice attraction.
In first glance I think the train move in the road.Your POV is wonderful.also composition is superb.
Generally I like your shot very much.

Well done.
afshin.

Next time, please jump that fence and lay on the opposite green grass to take this one. :) What is this Golf doing here stealing the leading role to that flashy red consist? Honestly, this one doesn't fill entirely my cup. I guess there is too much sky here and too less train. I would like to see that train closer to me.

jemaflor (39183) 2007-09-03 4:32

Salut JY,
Belle vue avec un bon complément de couleurs apporté par ce train idéalement placé, il ne manque qu'un avion dans le ciel pour ajouter un moyen de transport supplémentaire.

stefanocer (10403) 2007-09-03 8:02

Oh yes we are back to work Jean Yves , compliments nice shot and note too .
Stefano.

jjcordier (24436) 2007-09-03 8:08

Y a pas à dire, ces trains rouges sont plus beaux que les notres, surtout au milieu de ce paysage superbe. Belle illustration de tes propos....moi, je vais bientôt partir...le "privilège" de l'âge....
Amicalement
JJ

Salut JY
Du premier coup d'oeil on sait que l'on est en Suisse. Et ces trains rouges que tu affectionnes font immédiatement reconnaitre une oeuvre de Mr Roure.
Amicalement

Salut mon ami,

It's true that Semptember call us back to work or school. The summer vacatios are too short! Anyway, I love winter more much than summer, so I'm somewhat happy that it comes.

Your photo is very fine as always! i like the fine colors and the great lighting. Excellent framing too. I made a Workshop to present a more vivid version. Take a look!

Selon la logique du plan Freycinet , c'est donc un tramway ! c'est nous qu'on l'a inventé ! mais comme on est beaucoup plus intelligent que les Suisses ( hem )..
on l'a pas gardé ...

Amitiés ,

A wonderful morning picture, with a nice "on the way to work" mood the complementary colors of red and green are great.

alainh (35357) 2007-09-03 23:52

salut Jean Yves
et oui, il faut reprendre le collier, la voiture ou le train. marrant sur la vignette, on a l'impression que les deux sont sur le même axe.
Sur que la Suisse a une serieuse longueur d'avance sur nous en ce qui concerne la desserte ferroviere. j'ai ete epaté par la presence dans les zones les plus montagneuses de trains à cremaillere. comme quoi quand on a la volonté de ne pas ceder au dieu goudron ....
en tout cas une image tres sympa (meêm s'il elle nous emmene tout droit vers la case boulot !)
amicalement

Bonjour Jean-Yves,
Paysage très beau en arrière-plan! La luminosité et les couleurs sont très agréables.
Bonne idée de nous montrer ce moment de la vie en Europe. J'aime voir le "char":-) et le train rouge. Très bien arrangé, ce système.
Merci pour le partage.
