Instead of ads for modern products, the billboards are all old 20th century advertisements. Some, for businesses that no longer exist, such as Mark Foy's department store.
While I was away - morning arrival in a small train station in the mountains around Munster (Vosges, Alsace), with a bit a snow, I had then no clue of the winter wonderland that would be awaiting us.

You are waiting for the train to appear out of the fog. You can’t see far down the tracks in either direction. You are taking it on faith that the train will be from the same place as yesterday, and once you board, that it will take you where you expect to go. Other than prior experience, you cannot be sure that this is true.
Honored that "Point of Rocks Train Station" has won 2nd place in the 2/17/2024 #FineArtAmerica contest "Rural Train Stations" held by the "Big Sky Of Art" group. Thanks to contest admin Mia DeLode and to everyone who voted for my image. Congratulations to the other winners … great images all!!!
Matsushiro Station is a - by now - disused railway station of the Nagano Electric Railway on the former Yashiro Line, around 10km south of Nagano’s city center. When I visited less than a year before it was decommissioned, it exuded a very nostalgic and melancholic mood. I shot some details around the station, as well as an image with the station master.
