Papadia viaduct
#fromadistance
The Papadia viaduct in central Thessalia crosses a little branch of what would become the deep chasm of the Asopos gorge within a few kilometers. Nestled above in the distance is the village of Skamnos. A group of sleek cypresses marks the site of the little Aghios Eustachios chapel.
The opposite slopes are scarred by roads, the most prominent of them being the thoroughfare from Athens to Lamia.
I took the train to reach this remote place. The Elefterochori station is to the left out of the frame. The village of this name is also out of the frame left around the bend of the road up in the hills.
This was the second to last train I photographed here. After this shot I'd better move down towards the station where I would flag my train back to Lamia. Like Bruce Springsteen sings: Raise your hand! Good times were had.
