Train Cemetary In Bolivia
< on 2/20/2009 10:38 PM >
Posted on Forum: UER Forum
 
About a mile outside the town of Uyuni in southern Bolivia, this train graveyard is a mass of twisted, rusting steel and iron. Some of the engines are still in tact, as well as flatbeds, passenger cars, and scattered parts as far as the eyes can see. The local kids like to tag on the metal with chalk, writing their names, dates and things. The town of Uyuni is just the start of one of the most intense landscapes in the world, some 12,000 feet above sea level. Thought you guys might like to see some shots of the trains.

The first image reminded me of Mad Max - Beyond Thunderdome

Very very cool, that first shot is great.

Knowledge is realizing that the street is one-way, wisdom is looking both directions anyway
