Suddenly a train came past

as we were sitting at the counter in Hemingway!

I spent a lot of time removing all the cable, but Katja decided it looked more natural with then. Pity that guy put up his hand!

The mountains across the bay are the Helderberg, close to where I live.

Great photo! So much to see! Glad you kept the wires!

[Dawn]

A nice shot

[Brian]

Great shot!

[Suzanne]

Even with the hand up a great capture. My husband would love to sit there and watch the trains!

[Babs]

Ha ha, you line up a photo and then someone walks into it. You want to smack them don't you, but it tells a story.

[Wylie]

All part of the story. Looks great.

[Susan Wakely]

I am pleased that you levy the cables. The hand does not detract from this great shot.

[Joan Robillard]

Great timing

[Dione Giorgio]

Beautiful capture and great timing. I don't mind that hand - in fact I like it in the picture.

[winghong_ho]

It is a candid and natural shot.

[Mags]

A wonderful capture!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Not much you can do about the hand- it almost looks like he's waving the train to stop for him. I think it was good to leave the wires in- it turns the shot into a moment in time which works very well.

Leaving it the way it was with the hand and the wires makes it feel as if I were sitting there with you. I like the overall effect.

[Helge E. Storheim]

Fab shot and the cables definitely needs to be there! Nice set of primary colours too :-)

[Bucktree]

Great capture but I’m with you about the dude’s hand. The train looks very nice and so different from the trains over here. The view from the bar is fabulous.

[Rebecca B]

Looks great.. a really nice scene

[Kerry McCarthy]

Looks like he's cheering on the train!

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Well captured and how great to see a train go by.

[gloria jones]

Terrific capture

[Carole Sandford]

Great shot. The hand looks as if it’s part of the shot, so not much of a distraction. I know he probably didn’t see you or realise, but I do find people are often oblivious to photographers!

[Sally Ings]

I agree that the lines make the picture more natural. I don't think that I have seen one of these trains, we only see the scruffy red ones

[Korcsog Károly]

I don't think the wires or the hand are disturbing in the photo! Great shot!

[bkb in the city]

Very nice looking train

[Pyrrhula]

Great capture of it all. We say : it is what it is and that`s as good as it is.

[Heather]

This shot pulls us right into the scene! I tend to think that the guy's hand adds some drama and opens the way to a story. Fav!

[Corinne C]

A beautiful pic. I agree the cables nicely frame the mountains in the background and the train in the foreground

[Islandgirl]

Great shot and nice looking train, and I like the cables!

[Shutterbug]

Beautiful colors. I think I usually get too obsessed with removing wires. It’s good to keep them in sometimes to capture the scene. Anyway, I don’t think the wires detract.

[Rick]

Great capture. Yeah, too bad that the gentleman put his hand up at the wrong time.

@salza These trains are brand new Sally. They started running just before the tourist season, only on his route. I wonder what they will look like next year this time ;-)

[Judith Johnson]

Well captured and composed

@busylady Thanks Judith :-)
