October CDPB Theme Photo: Lines

RANCAEKEK TRAIN STATION BANDUNG copyrights Eki Akhwan

This is my photograph for the October CDBP theme: Lines.

I took this photo at Rancaekek Railway Station. As I mentioned in my yesterday's post, Rancaekek is a small suburban town about 14 kilometers east of Bandung.

These railway lines connect Bandung to other cities east of it, such as Yogyakarta, Surakarta (in Central Java), and Surabaya (the capital city of East Java province).

In this photo, the camera is facing west towards the direction of Bandung.

By the way, today is Iedul Fitr, a major Moslem holiday. So I will probably post another photo later today, if not tomorrow, and share a story about how the holiday is celebrated here.

    I love taking pics of railway stations and railroads too.

    Mine are power transmission lines and electric cables over railways with Raghuleela Mall and International Infotech Park in the background.

  19. We have a railroad that my Mother uses to go to New York City or Albany. She enjoys it instead of flying...
