A tram (street car) on the streets of Helsinki, the capital of Finland. The wintery setting is appropriate for the Season?

Tall ships at Oslo Harbour, with the 1600-century Akershus Fortress as a scenic backdrop.

Bjørn's tram in Helsinki and ships on Olso harbour - wonderful shots. I especially like the light in both the photos.
Akira - I like the second train shot more. Very graphic.
Gary - beautiful  sunset! LA?
John, I see lot of photo opportunity in that old train. :)

Nice canal boat. And I can even identify the two plant species of the foreground despite their blurred rendition :D (Sisymbrium officinale to the left, Dactylites glomerata to the right).

Steam engine DR (Deutsche Reichsbahn) series 01 build in 1925 as number 008.
For about half a century these were the engines on fast passenger trains in the steam age in the 20th century in Germany.
Seen at the Bochum Dahlhausen Railway museum.

War canoe in New Zealand. Shot on f.i.l.m. (to speak with rbsinto), fm3a and 24mm ais. Flimsy tripod and a huge lack of photo knowledge. Scanned from slide (probably velvia100 or provia).
