While riding the train around Disneyland you go through a tunnel with a view of the Grand Canyon that includes taxidermy animals, and a series of scenes of prehistoric life. The Grand Canyon stuff is looking pretty outdated and worn, but the prehistoric is still ok. The train Iwas on had an unplanned stop in the middle of the tunnel leaving me right at the triceratops window. The autofocus on my camera wanted to focus on the window so it is a bit blurry. I didn't have time to try for a manual focus before we were off again.
Destination Jakarta today, Non-stop Amsterdam-Jakarta.
We arrived in Jakarta in the late morning and headed straight away for the old Harbor and Dutch Cityhall.
That was enough for the day and our 14 hour flight.
Leaving Jakarta already next morning, after a quick stop at the Monas, for Bogor and the Puncak pass, but the pass was deleted from the tour as the roads were blocked during this eastern holiday weekend.
Visited only Bogor Botanic gardens and headed to Bandung via Jakarta.
Bandung is famous for its Art Deco city center.
We boarded the train for a 5 hour scenic drive to Kroya .
Night-stop at Wonosobo with the Dieng Vulcanic area and Java's oldest Hindi temples are nearby.

Since it was demanded of me, here is a new picture :)
This is from a recent trip to NYC; there should be more pictures from the trip up very soon. I'm going to try not to go 5 months again without uploading. The problem is, most of my photos are film and scanning/editing/uploading takes at least forever.
Also, I'm wearing the same shirt as I am in this (http://www.flickr.com/photos/b-ri/5058556051/) picture. Embarrassing.
My trainriding was done for the day when this Class 170 set returned me to Glasgow Queen Street so I lingered awhile under the trainshed taking a few photos.
The family of this darling boy invited me to bring my girls on a train ride. All I had to do was bring my camera and take some pictures. Clearly no arm-twisting was required. This little guy was a rambunctious camera hound. I briefly caught him in this calm moment with his guard down.
