Le dernier train



The last train
Garches, France


It sounds so distant to say we went to Garches, France, 
but it is only outside the Peripherique by two stops,
and you can use a Paris Visit, Zones 1-3

However, if you miss the last train back into Paris,
it would seem distant indeed.


Garches, France
Two stops beyond La Défense

  1. I like this one a lot, Genie. Very dark darks, and very light lights. Great converging lines, and a well-positioned figure on the right. And this time I even like the black and white.

  2. The disappearing lines give this one great depth Genie.

  4. There is a thing about last trains, many songs have been written about them. About Garches? I don't think so.

  7. After the last train anywhere, it's always a long walk.

  8. A beautifully composed image right down to the man's shadow.
    P.s. sorry Genie I know it's a bit late but a big welcome to the CDP.

  15. Bibi, we have a dear friend who lives in Garches and another who lives just beyond so we have made this trip several times now. What a lovely area!

    anni, I have barely made it back into Paris twice after having dinner with friends in Nogent sur Marne. I do not ever want to miss the last RER or Métro "home." I am glad your son made it.

    I do love travel by trains across Europe watching the scenery go by and taking shots of the stations and fields. The swaying of the cars on the tracks. There are no trains where I live now. We used to have a train between Mobile and New Orleans and there is talk of another.

    I am glad that you liked the black and white, and, Mary, it reminds me of Casablanca too.

    Bises,
    Genie
