This is just a wonderful image, Ove, brought a smile to my face.

Actually, the youth hotels are equally much visited by elderly youths, at least this one. I like your analogy, the wilderness in the city and the wilderness in our selves.

I have begun to use youth hostels in my travels. Elder hostels are a growing trend. I do like the wildness in the city that the photo shows. It suggests a wildness inside of each of us regardless of how civilized we become.

Yeah, I like that too. Abandoned places are interesting in many ways, both from ecological and historical perspectives.

I like to see these types of scenes where nature is reasserting herself. Soon, the tracks will be but a memory, buried deep under some fertile ground.

There are sleeper coaches with the actual “rooms”, than there is a restaurant coach and one coach that has been rebuilt to host the showers and toilets. I believe the train set is from the forties, or so. Pretty neat.

Ove, I would of never have imagined this photo was made in the middle of a town. I do like the idea of using the old train set for a youth hostel.
