Salzburg to Prague

August 8th, 2010

 These shots were taken somewhere in between Salzburg, Austria and Prague, Czech Republic. It being a day train, we had plenty of time to gaze out at the stark midwinter terrain that eventually gave way to the concrete slab apartment complexes of outer Prague. One of the more interesting aspects of rail travel is the access to societal borderlands - those private spaces often neglected, or forgotten, by a community turned in the opposite direction. Discarded traces of humanity - bulging trash bags, furniture, stripped cars - blurred at the base of the ravine we powered through on the way to Prague. Up the embankment, life continued as normal.
