Eurailing, a photo from Salzburg, West

Photographer's Note

One of the best way to travel Europe is by Eurail Pass. It gives you unlimited travel to more than a dozen countries in first class coach. And a lot of the time you have the whole compartment all to yourself. Since I've done this many times before and getting older now, my Eurailing this time around involved basically three countries in a one month period.

Well, Latiff
This must be you. Travelling across the country with your backpack and relax by the coach all by yourself while the train passes every thing in a seconds.
This is quite an interesting shot, from a sense of artisitic look to the candid feeling of it.
Cheers and good day, Latiff.

Ah Latiff, looks like you were getting pretty comfortable here. I've never ridden the rail in Europe, but it looks pretty clean from this shot. (It's ten times better than trains in China.)

It's a scene perhaps almost everyone here on TrekEarth can relate to. Nice job of capturing it.

Hi latiff, this is a fun shot and it certainly captures the spirit of Eurailing! I personally love train travel, it's so relaxing and you can watch people, walk around, sleep, watch the scenery go by, etc.

Nice composition, I like the backpack with the luggage tags, and the blur of the scenery out the window, and of course the propped-up feet to show how relaxing train travel is (at least if your train is on time and you don't miss your connections. :))

Thanks for sharing!

Yess , It s , in my opinion , the best way of discovering Europe , a bunch of travels just enclosed in one wider that means a wholly great adventure ...I did Interrail once , but don t remember it were allowed to be in 1 st class trains :i remember having to paid a suplement for certain high velocity trains in their secnd class...The picture is , perhaps , the less cared of your Austrian serie , but the most evoking , a metaphore about what travel means , even with those airport labels that disclose you start your adventure in Europe once you put your feet in Amsterdam , the movement of the train and all those assorted landscapes that are getting open or displaying for you and your eyes even while you rest your feet against the train mirror .Interesting shots and gallery . Best regards
