The big red train ride 2004 – Transsiberia & Kamshatka

August 2004

This longest train ride in the world: Den Haag to Vladivostok, over 12.000 kms by rail. This long journey was extended with a visit to the Kamshatka peninsula. Since there are no real roads overland to Kamshatka, flying was our only option. This colorful series was shot on slide film and gives an impression of the great variety in the siberian landscapes.
