Train Cemetery

By philipr  
This is an old train in the "train cemetery" next to the salt flats of Uyuni in Southwest Bolivia. It used to be a ral transport hub for Chile and Argentina but now roads have taken over and there are lots of rusting old trains left. It have become a tourist attraction now so its unlikely it will get cleaned up.

Very nice shot indeed Philip. Great exposure, and lovely colours too. Well done.

Nice description of an equally nice image. Like the vanishing point on the left of image.

A very sad sight, but great image.

Looks like a glimpse into a post apocalyptic world. The ultra wide angle works well with this shot. Click

Wonderfully composed and taken - though it's sad, you can still feel the power of the engine (almost as if it's raring to go)in a ghostly way. Bruce

Unusual subject - could almost be a ghost train. Nick.
