Description
A steam locomotive is a living, breathing, huffing, puffing creature…with personality that diesel and electric locomotives can not match. But when you can find one in a snow-covered landscape, it is even more dramatic to look at (and, of course, shoot) as it discharges voluminous clouds of steam from its cylinders into the chill winter air, and blasts that mixture of steam and coal smoke from its stack. Of course, it also blasts steam from other orifices, like the safety valve and whenever the engineer blows the whistle.
This steam locomotive belongs to the Preßnitztalbahn, a narrow gauge (750mm) museum railroad in the Erzgebirge region of eastern Germany.
I was hoping to shoot "steam in the snow" and the weather did not disappoint on this winter afternoon!
