Railway yard obsolescence as fine art photography.

• Not all photos suitable to be fine art photos.
• Fine art photography is a challenging and rewarding photographic art form.

• It’s less about what the camera sees, and more about how the photographer/artist interprets and presents the image.

 

 

Three boys stand on rear of rail carriage, not so much fine art but more people interest

Walking around Namibia’s capital city, Windhoek one can come across it city’s old railway station. Now a museum with the old ticket/reservations office and station along with a range of the rolling stock and associated historic rail items.

This short series will appeal especially to anyone with an interest in rail, especially historic rail stock.

Pretty much “steampunk” these days.

Also known as the World’s Gumboot Capital!

A small rural town of only about 1500 people on State Highway 1 so heading north or south you are likely to happen upon her.

Just outside and back into the farmland you’ll find this little old farmhouse.

Old deserted farm house Taihape black and white.

A little further on take a left of SH 1  and its not far to this bridge that was built about 1900, but is having it’s opening on March 7 this year. What a wait!

Mangoweka Bridge over Rangatikei River near Taihape.

Back in the town as you walk around the old buildings and town centre you might see this alleyway between two buildings on Main Street.
