Photo of the Month - January/February 2015 - Entries

[Voyager One]

Last week for placing your entry... hurry up people!

A late entry, as it took me some time to find something proper. Hope you like it though! It shows a rail bridge near Zagórz in Subcarpathia, Poland, soon after sunrise (taken at 4:43 AM). No sign of train whatsoever, though while taken in 2010, trains used to run here twice a day. Currently, this picturesque route is closed for good

I have no intention to copycat - meant to submit this in some previous POTM, but then got lazy. Looking this one might fit...

Surprisingly also a bridge across a flood canal (named "banjir kanal barat") in Semarang. There's a second bridge to the right - that's a new bridge (supports still there) for a new second track, rails unlaid yet at the time. Now it serves to shorten the time of travel across Java's north coast by rails down by a third at longest.

There're cars and motorcycles passing at the other side through if you see in detail, also the locomotive that just passed by - would that qualify into the "no vehicle" ? If it's rejected, it's fine, I won't be submitting anything to replace it.

I'm probably not qualified to accept or decline entries, but in my intention when setting the topic, your photo would be fine. If there was some kind of rail vehicle which distracts me from seeing the rails, I would rather not accept it. Also if this was a road bridge with a car on it, it would not really fit the topic perfectly.

On a side note: Damn it, didn't have much time and the weather was crappy, so I did not take any pictures. I have to check my old pics whether I find something.

EDIT: Ha, found one.

OMG, my picture has a vehicle too... There's a ship of some sort at 7 miles distance...

No, seriously now... YNM, as far as I'm concerned your photo is more than just fine. I think that if the main perspective focuses on a "non-vehicle" thing, the whole picture is fine. As you can see from my pic too, you can't influence some coincidental things.

...and I didn't even notice those cars until you've mentioned them...

I'm ganna go ahead and enter this as I haven't actually taken part in ages.
