ØVJ at the moment...

Post by St.Michael » Wed Apr 23, 2014 9:14 pm

The snow has finally melted. It´s the time between the beginning of the growth in the garden, and no snow. It gives a very brownish colour to the whole railway. I myself find theese photos almost depressing having a sort of abandon feeling...
:cry:
Very glad for comments thou..

Beginnings of a new season to expand and improve your railway.
Lovely clear light, everything looking well. Nice work.

I understand your feelings about the inbetween time in the seasons, I also get impatient to see the green reappear, but actually I rather like the effect in your pictures. :)

Ah, but depressing in a good way! Lovely photos, there's something just "right" about your line. Enjoy the spring!

You line oozes character, everything has its own identity particular to your line which ties everything together really nicely!

This is beautiful. I like the way that the sun gradually appears in the pictures, and lights up the line. Can´t wait for spring :) :D :shock:

Good morning, all.
A month have passed by, and I have had some lovely trainplaying-afternoons.

I have added some more vents on the roof on my IP coach and also extra weight under the floor. Now it runs perfec :D

I have built my first artificial tree, with ball shaped tree crown. And at the same place a small coaling station

Always great to see the latest photos from your lovely - and very characterful - line, thank you!

All the best,

Andrew.

Ever thought about making a video of your line, so that we can see the whole thing? :D

Yes, I´m trying. I had a semi-profi here last summer who should learn a new editing program, and therefor he filmed and made a beautiful film...But he never became quite finnished, and because he never have asked me for any payment for his work with my railway, I don´t feel that I can nag on him either... So I have started by myself on a much much lower level with my Ipad and have edited over a minute of filmclipping ;) I will publish it in a while, but don´t expect the works of a new Ingmar Bergman (yet)

I never thought that Liv Ullmann would be co-starring with the narrow gauge locomotives ....

Just wondering whether the sun is shing now on the line. I´m sure we are all looking forward to more photos :shock: :lol: 8)

kandnwlr, and all you others: Thank you very much for showing interest in my work at the ØVJ :D :D
And when you ask about the summer sun, I think you are touching a problem of either my photo skill or my photo equipment... I simply find it hard, almost impossible to take photos with soul, in the baking sunshine.
So I change subject... Earlier you asked me about overview pictures of my railway. Here are some photos from a longer distanse than I usually use to publish at the forum

And here is an early trackplane

I´ll show something more in a while ;)

Nice railway there. I like the style with mature plants and trees. Good working height as well.
