views from a train

Landscape photograph by Sania Pell

One freezing morning last month, I caught an early train out of London to look at a location for a magazine shoot I have been working on. The countryside was covered in frost and the fields whizzed before my eyes. I love how the landscape became pastel, the colours watered down by the layer of frost. Trees disappeared, fading into the distance, becoming ghostly in the damp, foggy air. I took these images through the window of the train, capturing fleeting moments of time on a chilly English morning.

Taking photos through windows and abstracting the landscape has become a regular thing I do on long journeys now. It began through the car window whilst visiting Tate Modern one rainy day and from the train on my family trip to Edinburgh last October. I have some more images through the windows of a boat, taken on a family day trip over Christmas, that I will post soon too.

    Those pictures are amazing, you’re a genius with a camera! I love photos taken through window, mostly when the window is ornamental or mosaic, like this photo taken in Toronto . But when I’ve seen yours, I must admit they are so much better and original. Thanks for sharing.
