You covered such gorgeous country on this trip - it's so interesting to see how the landscape changes, especially in such a gradual fashion as on a train. You captured it really nicely, and the music is perfect. Love that opening shot at the beginning too. And I know what you're saying about dehydration - you really have to be prepared with sustenance for long trips like this. Wow!

Brilliant. I am glad that you gave slow travel a try. I am just about to go to my friend's wedding in Spain via the train. It's an over-nighter and living in teeny England, I've never had to do that before. I suspect that I will see the disappearing suburbs of Paris, sleep and then see the appearing suburbs of Madrid. Ho hum. My friends (the ones who are getting married in fact), are moving to Japan and I want to take the trans-Siberian Express to see them. Now that would really be an adventure.

I love shots out of train windows. It's just so endless and meditative. And I love the fact that what you see out of your train window is utterly different from what I see out of mine. I really like the feeling of briefly glimpsing a little road, or someone's back garden and thinking "I will never go there," but you know that it exists anyway. I spent a lot of time when I first got a bit of freedom (age 16/17) inventing excuses to go places on the train. In actual fact, I really haven't stopped. My favourite train memories are when the train suddenly swings by the edge of the sea, and it almost feels like you are travelling on water. It's happened to me in England, Italy and Japan... ah train memories, i'd better stop before I tell you about every journey I have ever been on.

Loved seeing it in those long shots, like you saw as you travelled. What amazing scenery. And perfect choice of music. :) Great. Loved seeing it in those long shots, like you saw as you travelled.
