<p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/153859345@N04/55317228997/" title="Montecargo 461-037 | Vranjina | 23.06.2021"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55317228997_8b73912148_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="Montecargo 461-037 | Vranjina | 23.06.2021" /></a></p>

<p>Schon lange wollte ich auf dem großen Damm über den Skutarisee bei Vranjina einen Güterzug fotografieren. Am Vormittag des 23.06.2021 hatte ich eigentlich vor in Richtung Bar zu fahren, doch am Bahnhof in Sutomore verschwand gerade ein Güterzug in die passende Richtung. Schnell umgekehrt, wieder Maut durch den Tunnel bezahlt und versucht dem Zug hinterherzukommen. Auf Höhe Virpazar war ich mit dem Zug gleichauf, doch der Straßenverkehr war auf meiner Seite sodass ich rasch nach Vranjina unten an die Treppe zum Friedhof schnell das Auto abgestellt und die Treppe zum Friedhof hinaufgehetzt. Während ich die letzten Stufen bezwingen wollte verließ mich die Kraft in den Beinen und die Puste war schon lange weg, bei den warmen Temperaturen.<br />
Doch das Bild klappte! 461-037 schob sich keine Minute nach meiner Ankunft am Standpunkt auf den Damm, nach Luft ringend und mit zitternden Beinen klackte der Auslöser. Und auch mit dem Straßenverkehr ging alles gut, der große LKW konnte gut hinter dem Baum getarnt werden.<br />
Der Abstieg zurück zum Auto musste etwas warten, ich musste erstmal Sauerstoff nachtanken, bevor es überaus zufrieden zurück zum Auto hinunter ging.<br />
<br />
I had long wanted to photograph a freight train on the large dam over Lake Skadar near Vranjina. On the morning of June 23, 2021, I had actually planned to drive towards Bar, but at the Sutomore station, a freight train disappeared in the right direction. I quickly turned around, paid the toll for the tunnel again, and tried to follow the train. Near Virpazar, I was neck and neck with the train, but the road traffic was on my side, so I quickly parked the car at the bottom of the steps to the cemetery in Vranjina and hurried up them. As I tried to conquer the last few steps, my legs gave out, and I was already out of breath in the warm temperatures.<br />
<br />
But the picture worked! 461-037 pulled onto the dam less than a minute after I arrived at my vantage point. Gasping for air and with trembling legs, the shutter clicked. And everything went well with the road traffic too; the large truck was easily camouflaged behind the tree.<br />
<br />
The descent back to the car had to wait a while; I first had to replenish my oxygen before heading back down to the car, extremely satisfied.</p>
