Hi Kari
I like the composition and the note you wrote...yes, by now it is more a "French" connection, even if I guess they still make part of it in Savigliano (near Turin).
Have a nice day

Hi Kari,
nice image, very well composed. The curve of the rails is pleasant and the train is a very good subject. Well done.
TFS.
Have a nice weekend.
Gabriele.

Hi Kari.
I was intrigued by your title, and thought there must be a Finland-Italy train service! Hardly likely. Having read your note, I now remember travelling on a Pendolino train in the Czech Republic - I was told that they were bought second-hand from the Italian Railways. Anyway, it's another good train shot with a nice curving track and sharp exposure. I particularly like the fact that there are cars coming around the bend in the road, in parallel with the train.
Regards,
Andrew

Kari,
This is a nicely composed scene with the curving rails leading the eye into the shot. The low light and dusting of snow add to the cold mood of the shot. The angle of the shot is great giving us a nice view of the train.
TFS,
Asa

One of your already classic train shots, this time in a very attractive curve (nicely enhanced and echoed by the road and cars)... interesting light, well managed...

Hello Kari.
Well-composed shot, with a fascinating winter mood.
The train and the cars, flowing in the same direction, are well taken.
Best regards.
Bobo.
