Remarks & Notes

GEORGE - KNYSNA MEMORIES 1: The George - Knysna line was the official preserved steam line for South Africa. Here we see a short passenger train accelerating away from the permanent 10Km/h speed restriction over the Swartvlei ("Black Lake") bridge. Sadly this is a sight never to be seen again - the causeway was washed away in 2007 and the line was then closed.

Landscape photography is difficult due to the challenge of combining good light and good scenery. Good railroad photography enters another level of complexity since it requires the first two while there is a train in view.
