Figure 1 – Photograph through a dirty window on a moving train. IPhone photograph, (c) DE Wolf 2016.

Today I went in to Cambridge, MA for a lunch meeting. The sun is still shining in the Athens of America. There is a lot of anger, but it still shines. On my way back I noticed the view through a very dirty window. It created a very surrealistic sensation and wonderful pictorialist images. It also made me think of all those wonderful old movies that have train scenes. There are several lists of such movies. But my favorite is Silver Streak with Gene Wilder, Richard Pryor, and Jill Clayburgh. I am also reminded of a magical train trip that I took years ago from the Munich Airport to Tutzing. It was winter, atmospheric, and hazy. Great memories!

Anyway, since there is little time to compose I just started snapping images with my IPhone. One of the best results, in my view, is Figure 1, which shows a rail signal, a building, some trees, and a powerline.
