Out of Time, a photo from Varese, Lombardia

Photographer's Note

I think it is a bit sad to see a railway station clock out of order.
This lonely electric train is in Porto Ceresio, on the Italian side of Lago di Lugano. Railway line from Varese to Porto Ceresio was opened in 1894 and closed in the end of 2009.

Hello Kari,
Looking at this lovely picture I should say: Line closed at 2008-07-19. The machinist stopped the train here an hour ago and everybody left. Deserted forever. Eternalised by Ktanska.
Well done.

Hello Kari,
The station looks rather sad with all the grass and weeds growing up through the concrete and railway lines. A great shot with strong curves and colour.
Kind Regards, Ann

Hi Kari
Sad situation but beautiful scene and aesthetic composition. The train is a cute subject and the display of colors is nice.
