Strolling beside the Toronto Train Yard 多倫多鐵道旁閑遊

【Ontario Yours to Discover】 《Strolling beside the Toronto Train Yard》: Many people love transport. Children love buses, matchbox cars. Adults favor sport cars, aircraft, yachts. I fall in love with train. I specially prefer steam locomotives which use to drag over 100 trucks through mountains, valley, cross the bridges, pass through the caves, travel the desert, wilderness, forests and swamps. In all modes of transport, train is the most heavy duty, hard-working and bitter endurable transport to any change of the tough climate.  To be a wise man, we have a lot to learn from the train!

A few days ago, I walked along Middlefield Road beside the Canadian Pacific Railway Toronto Yard. The sun of the early spring shone on the return of the long-haul of train cars. The grass by the yard look gray and bleak. the trains after a hard and tough journey over the province look a bit old and tired.

I take pictures of trains, but not the beautiful scenery. I hope that through the camera lens, my photos will show an ambience of the busy trains and a special mood of the desolate weeds!

【安省景物 由你發掘】《多倫多鐵道旁閑遊》：
很多人喜愛交通工具，小朋友喜愛巴士、火柴盒汽車。成人喜愛跑車、飛機、遊艇。我對火車卻情有獨鍾。我更喜愛蒸汽火車，拖著百多的貨卡穿越高山、狹谷，跨過大橋，鑽過山洞，走遍沙漠、荒野、山林及沼澤。在各種交通工具之中，火車是最吃得苦的了，挨得巖峻的氣候變化。我們要向火車多多學習為人之道﹗

日前，我沿著多倫多士嘉堡東面的加拿大太平洋鐵路多倫多車廠旁散步，初春的陽光照耀著遠途歸來的火車卡。車場旁邊的野草顯得蒼蒼，陪著經過穿洲過省，停泊的車廂，均顯得有點殘舊和疲憊。 我拍攝火車的照片，不以美麗的景色作主題，祇希望透過鏡頭，顯出風塵僕僕的車廂和荒涼野草的一種獨特氣氛!

同一現像，可以有不同的答案：車剛開行？車剛經過？車剛停止？車是停著的？所以：我們不要性急，多給自己一點時間觀察才作出結論！
