ALEX in the Landscape
223.069 climbed away from Oberkotzau with ALX84115, the 13:40 from Hof to München, on 7 May 2016.The Bavarian landscape comes alive in late April and early May, making this my favourite time to photograph trains in southern Germany. A red Ludmilla would have looked good here but there was a good chance the wagons would have blended into the background, making it look like a light engine. ALEX came to the rescue as it often did.
