Remarks & Notes

It's often tough to get good pix while on a family vacation, but the Izaak Walton Inn perhaps offers an exception. Here between Red Bus tours and lake boat rides I found time for a morning trip out to the bridge between East and West Java to catch an almost on time Amtrak No. 8. The sun burned through the morning overcast just in time.

Good Light, Good Scenery, and a Train Album created by member Lee Kirchhoff	Album Views: 77,664
Landscape photography is difficult due to the challenge of combining good light and good scenery. Good railroad photography enters another level of complexity since it requires the first two while there is a train in view.
