Gum on China’s ShoeLooking downstream in the Kurobe Gorge in Toyama Prefecture in Japan.
One of the engines from the Kurobe Gorge Railway.
I gather the railway was built for the construction of the Kurobe Dam, and then turned over to tourist use on completion of the dam.
The green sign on the front says that it is a sister railway with the Alishan Railway in Taiwan.
Matt GoddenSteam hanging like an apparition over the geothermal hot water fountain in the main square outside the station at #UnazukiOnsen after returning from #KurobeGorge. A fun #Night #Photo experiment for #DayAndNight 2019 #Photography in #Japan.
Still #Day in this #DayAndNight 2019 #Photo from #KurobeGorge, #UnazukiOnsen, #Japan but closer to my wheelhouse of geometry and dark. There's several of these tunnels to walk through, after leaving the #KurobeGorgeTrolleyTrain. This one provided the best #Photography options. As always, I’m in awe of #Japanese civil engineering.
Because why wouldn't you build your hydro-electric infrastructure to resemble European mediaeval fortresses? Another #Day #Photo from #Japan 2019 #DayAndNight #Photography, again from the #KurobeGorgeTrolleyTrain at #KurobeGorge, #UnazukiOnsen. #Japanese architectural tastes are so much fun, and this town has strong Swiss Chalet style in places, presumably for the skiers. The haze, and shallow depth of field feel a bit like an old film photo.
The next #Day and next #Photo in #DayAndNight #Photography 2019, is from the #KurobeGorgeTrolleyTrain at #UnazukiOnsen. The brilliant turquoise water, I think is from the sediment of the white rock from which the area is composed. #KurobeGorge is #Japan's deepest valley, and has this wonderful little train, used for the construction of the hydroelectric project, but now a #Japanese tourist attraction. The season is just starting to turn to Autumn, as you can see in the colour of the trees.
First #Night #Photo of my 2019 #DayAndNight #Photography of #Japan. The main square in #UnazukiOnsen, a delightful mountain town, known for #Skiing, a multitude of public #Bronze #Sculptures, and #KurobeGorge. I couldn't resist a long exposure of the little train that brought us up from the coast, through the valley's farmland. The streetlight is just the right size to match the scale of the moon. My technical OCD is pinging about the station entrance being overexposed, but I can live with it :)
