Ilfeld on a cold December night.

Just ... perfect!

Hi Erhard

Thank you so much. We stopped here for just one night on our way to Zittau. Of course the one steam train of the day was part of the plan!

Best wishes, and a nice weekend!

Fantastic shot Peter filled with atmosphere ... certainly heading into my fav's folder with a YS

Thank you for adding it to the Transport group also

Best wishes ... Steve

Thank you very much Steve,

The idea was to see steam trains in the winter, and it was certainly cold, well below zero. Overnight the snow was to come.... www.ipernity.com/doc/2247998/46017284

And so will a few more pictures!

... certainly, thanks for the link ... this is a really nice night-time shot: receding perspective (rails and ties are always a good element), platform lights, and engine exhaust ... EXIF says 4 seconds at f5.6 and 35mm: well done !! ...

Thank you so much Wally, your visit and kind words are really appreciated, and makes standing there in sub zero temperatures worthwhile. I have always found that for steam locomotives at night it it better to tray a whole range of exposure times (starting with the shortest possible...) as the way the exhaust drifts (or not) can make such a difference.. I am very happy that you like it!

Another excellent shot here!!

A hot cup of tea would be nice in such a cold night!!

My Dear Füsun,

Thank you so much for your very kind visit, not only here, but on the night too!
Hot cups of tea, sitting by the Christmas tree, then a nice meal too.. A good way to spend a cold winter night!!!
Of course next day we had thick snow..https://www.ipernity.com/doc/2247998/46017284 !!
