nice ride...
"the sad whistle likea piercing cry of an owl"I'd never thought about it but that is what it is like.
Having worked many years for a railway company and travelled 100's of kilometres on trains how this poem and video brought back memories for me. Your posts always have a unique character Rall.
I love the remembered sound of a train, love the clickety clack and that haunting whistle,
Relating the whistle to an owl, briiliant. I love the colours in the image, A Carpet of Purple.
Such an eloquent poem!!
what a solemnly meditative piece. I have gone on those train rides before and it was quite an experience! thanks for sharing Rall.
That whistle is surely one of the most mournful. haunting sounds.
The sounds always powerful. Lovely.
I think I know the train you're talking about...
Great video. Completes your inspiration.
