Kiwi Rail

It's a spectacular railroad that goes from east to west coast of New Zealand's South Island. I actually never took the train ride but it passes right next to the university research station where I'm spending quite some time which makes good photo opportunities.

Simple & a neat composition, Andrius. Nice aesthetic placement of the train against the beautiful landscape.
Also liked that burst of rays on the engine's headlamps.

I like the comp here Andrius. The light and color as well as the back drop of the misty mountains add to the mood of the scene. Nice work balancing all the elements.
