I have to admit this right away: I love trains and anything related to the railway. And while these images that follow don't include trains, they do feature railroad shots, taken during sunset. I hope you will enjoy them.

This is part of the railroad leading up north to Mostar and the capital city Sarajevo. From where I took the photo, you'll need about 20 minutes to reach Mostar and a good 3 hours to Sarajevo.
The fields surrounding the railroad. The sun was just setting.
Another view of the track, that leads south to the sea side into Croatia.
As the sun was fading away I took this moodier version of the view before. Even though I liked taking these shots, standing close to the tracks in person always unsettles me. So I quickly finished up and departed this location.
Do you like trains? If not, what is your favorite means of transportation?

It's again a very good post with nice light and good compositions.
ReplyDeleteGreetings, Joop
Thank you Joop.
DeleteThey are all beautiful! I love the second to last one. Trains have a romanticism buses/cars/plans lack.
ReplyDeleteI agree, I could watch them for days.
DeleteTolle Fotos hast du wieder gemacht. In jungen Jahren oft mit dem Zug gefahren, bin ich es später nur noch hin und wieder. Seitdem ich hier bin gar nicht mehr....weil wir keinen Zug auf der Insel habe. Sind zwar schon viele Jahre Objekte geplant u.a. ja den Transrapid, aber dazu wird es wohl nie kommen. Krise und Kürzungen von Madrid lassen die Projekte wieder in der Schublade verschwinden.
ReplyDeleteLiebe AbendgrĂĽsse
Nova
Das finde ich schade, aber Inseln haben sicherlich andere Reize was den Transport angeht.
DeleteJust beautiful. I especially like the last one. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Lois.
DeleteBeautiful photos, Mersad. I like that golden light in the first one. Thank you for always visiting my blog and for your kind comments. Starting tomorrow, my commenting will get a little erratic, as I'm busy with Christmas festivities. But I'll be checking in on my bloggies! Happy Holidays to you.
ReplyDeleteThanks for always visiting Mona. Really appreciate it.
DeleteI love trains and as a child rode them several times a year. here in USA we don't have many trains but if we did i would be on them...
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by Sandra.
DeleteI love the lighting, and how it hits in certain spots of your frame! You ave quite the eye for natural framing.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much!
DeleteWonderful captures as always and I do love trains, too!! I hope your week is going well, Mersad!!
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed!
DeleteBeautiful shots. Gotta love that golden light at sunset!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteWonderful captures at sunset, Mersad. I really love your last image.. so beautifully dramatic.
ReplyDeleteI love trains, too!
Thanks Laura.
Deletereally like the light in the 2nd photo. beautiful!
ReplyDeleteExcelentes fotografias....
ReplyDeleteVotos de Boas Festas....
Cumprimentos
Thank you for visiting.
DeleteThere's something haunting about railroad tracks, isn't there? All of these are beautifully composed, but I'm a sunset kind of gal so the fourth shot is my favorite. The fifth is a close second, though. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda!
DeleteNice. The last photo works best for me.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jack.
DeleteWonderful photos. I would love to take a train trip one day.
ReplyDeleteThanks Randy.
DeleteOhh, ich wundere mich immer, wie kann mann so einfache Sachen, die z.B. für mich gar nichts sagen, so schön fotografieren, daß die Bilder was besonderes werden? Liebe Grüße
ReplyDeleteDanke Flögi für die lieben Worte.
DeleteThere is something about the idea of trains and train travel in general -- perhaps harkening back to days gone by. Lovely shots.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nancy.
DeleteI hope I haven't missed too many pictures in my absence.
ReplyDeleteLovely train pictures, Mersad, I allowed Hubby a peep since he's mad on trains.
Thanks for coming back.
DeleteLet me follow this railroad to go away
ReplyDeleteCiao
Stefano

DeleteYou captured the beauty of railroads so very well. Wonderful light.
ReplyDeleteI love all these photographs. I have to admit that a train ride ticks all the boxes for me :).
