Art

I stumbled across someone's work on flickr and had to share it.


He's a rail enthusiast who specialises in Swiss railways.


All his shots are in moody black and white.


There isn't much sun in this world, just a sense of purposefulness.


I'm not a huge fan of the aesthetics of the dominant style of Swiss loco.


They always look a bit bloated to me.


But this chap makes them look sleek and determined.


Of course, they are no match for the aesthetics of the TGV:


Even so, there is something about this photographer that enables him to capture them in a way that makes everything feel as if it's in its right place.


I love these shots.
