I am fascinated by the reflections caught by train running from the inside, especially at sunsets. Living for matter of heart on trains weekly, I have learnt to find deeply affective the passage of fast shapes on the windscreen, that lose theyr shapes to become kind of a musical feeling and so, quite abstract and unrealistic in a way. Pic taken with CanonIXUS 400, available light, no postworks, 1/3 of overexposure.

i don't know if this would qualify as an abstract meli but i really like these train inner reflection shots they have a nice mood to them i almost feel like i am sitting there with you looking out the window :]

yeah. reading theguidelines I was almost sure it wasn't the right pic for the challenge :) But I find it very evocative too :) in its simplicity,if one knows what's like to travel for 7 years to meet your half... it means quite much ;) I have taken another couple of images that can fitbetter the challenge.. but I have space on the camera yet so I'll download them later on in next week :) Ty Cyn :)

Wow! I've seen this just now! I've posted a reflection too! But this one is surely better! Beautiful work my friend!

on that train trip I was traveling with very boring people.. the most interesting thing I could have done was to try pictures outside ;) (while generally, on my train traveling i always meet great people from all countries to talk with.. I found believ.. 100 pen friends that way.. and with many we keep in touch :)eeh :)

100 pen pals? you will be known worldwide if you keep that up, if not already... how do you possibly keep up! the world is definately a better place with you in it! :]

I could talk with a wall ;) yep.. I have friends from all countries I think, all type of men and women, in everysense (Florence gathers easily people from all places.. so takin train there is in itself tripping )and after 3 hours togeter face to face talkin, i feel natural to ask numbers and addresses :)Stef thinks in our lives we will constantly be hosting people home ;) that's why while furnishing the house now we are buying a BIG bed/sofa to know we can give facilities to guests ;) And I didn't tell you how many "web friends" counts my list.. you'd be scared ;) But again.. I always try to meet in real people too. Until then, nothing is complete for me. I'll pass half of my life traveling still I guess, always ;)

can't wait to try out the sofa bed then, for Italy is at the top of my list on my European travels! (someday) :D

be sure dear you will always be a most welcomed guest in my world :) I mean this for real:) You've got official inviting :)valid.. all life long :)

thank you my delightful meli! ~hugz~ :]

:) :) :) Hugs back :)

I would agree with cylee in that it is hard to qualify this as an abstraction. But the image itself is very nice! I like the strange horizontals reflecting onto the glass...and the beautiful overall orange color.

I liked them too Michelel, that's why I didn't trash the pic (I will upload it in my personal site.. i havce already many pics there that I never showed here.. they are.. nice but unperfect as this ;)). I will definitely try some new image for the challenge as i am in Rome this weekend :) I like the theme :) It is worthy a trial :)

Very poetic image.

aww :) Thanx :) this is indeed such a lovely t hing to hear about it :)
