Window-snap while on my way to the International airport...
It is a rather weird feeling everytime I travel between my new/old homeland and my new/old homeland...
...both ways I feel both happy and sad...
...it is bit like when I listen to records with the old Gasolin' music...
I feel both happy and sad, I love listening to the very locally anchored text and I both feel happy about all memories and aswell sad that I am not part of that lovely city's vibrant history, I have some sort of missing twin syndrome...
I wish I was in Copenhagen and a part of its soul, future and history...
...or like the Swedish singer Lars Wimmerlöv sings about Berlin, where he meets a lot of café and pubowners that miss their homeland...
I am not a Turk (as far as I know) and I don't live in Berlin, but I love that city too...

I always liked the look of Amtrak's SDP40 Fs - they were big brutes that looked like they could power anything. It's sad they had such short lives, and while their replacements, the F40PH's, were cool they just weren't as classy as the big SDP's. There's a bit of history in this shot - this is the last Arrowhead to Duluth using conventional equipment on Feb. 26, 1978. The next day it will be an F40PH pulling new Amfleet cars. Nice, but not as nice as this train, which includes two domes. It's crossing the Mississippi River in Minneapolis on the former Northern Pacific. This bridge still stands, although only an occasional switch job goes over it now.
