Foggy days, November

To Chynów, of a foggy day. Trains running on time. On the 'up' platform, the 15:14 from Chynów to Rembertów. When trains are scheduled to pass at Chynów, because of the single-line working on either side of the station, the 'up' train has to wait several minutes for the 'down' train to arrive.


And here they are, passing, taken from the other end of the platform.

Chynów station in the fog. Note the Polish flag hung for tomorrow's 100th centenary of Poland regaining its independence.


House on my street in Jakubowizna, fields enveloped in mist.


Two photos that highlight the magic that digital photography delivers. Below: a raw, unaltered image of the Radom line crossing the Łuków-Skierniewice line. Straight out of the camera.


Below: the same image, but with just one parameter changed in Adobe Photoshop - setting the 'Dehaze' slider to 100%


Bonus shot - the Euro Night service from Paris Est to Moscow Beloruskaya waiting at W-wa Wschodnia for a change of locomotive and for coaches from Nice Ville to be attached. Total journey time from Paris to Moscow - 36 hours. From Nice to Moscow (via Monte Carlo, San Remo, Milan, Innsbruck, Vienna, Zell am See, Vienna, Katowice and Warsaw) - it's 45 hours. The train is sleeper-only carriages, with a restaurant car.
