FF Vienna Royal Imperial Electrical Metropolitan Railways Fence

            Happy Fence Friday 25-09-2020!

"Wiener kaiserliche & königliche elektrische Stadtbahn" - what a mouthful! That's what the new electric local railway was called in Vienna when it was opened in the last years of the 19th century. For short it was known fondly as the "Elektrische", a nickname which could still be heard into the 1980s, before the little red box-cars finally disappeared to be replaced by their modern successors.

The photo shows a segment of typical railway fencing - in this case looking down from a station on the outer ring road known as the "Gürtel"  ("Belt).

To create the strong grain effect for this night-shot I coupled a high ISO-rating with a red filter in front of the lens. Good old fashioned coloured glass filters do a nice job of confusing the RGB pixels!

For best effect view large on full screen.
