notes:

This is one of my early shots, this photograph was taken 1972. I was travelling in Brazil, this view is on a train from Paranagua to Curitiba. My camera was a Zenit renamed into Revueflex. The colour balance may have changed by ageing...

Nice perspective. You must retouch colors and turn to life that shot.

Thank you for your kind comment. There was a difficult shift in the ratio of green and blue in this old negative. But I had another try to get a good balance. Hope it`s better now...

Thank you, Berenice! As far as I remember, this trip took 4 hours, so the train was not moving very fast. And I had time enough to enjoy the landscape.

beautiful perspective and atmosphere, Bernd!
the colors, maybe due to the ageing, as you say, add to create a special mood.

Good shot. Amazing place.

Today we have a train called 'Litorina' and this train make this trip in 2 hours and a half. Litorina is only for tourism and It stop in many stations to tourist take pictures.

Congrats to the picture.

Thank you, Anderson. As far as I remember, this train, years ago, was quite slow, too. (I had no problem with the motion and the exposure...) But the trip is amazing!!
Regards!
