About	Watching the running rails while the train is driving can cause something "contemplative" in the sense of emptying mind of any thoughts. One just sits and looks and sees nothing. In a mental state of indifference and thus perhaps also a bit like escaping reality for some minutes. The intention behind this one was to catch somehow that undefinable mixture of earth colors and running rails while in this state. Any comments would be very welcome.

Yes, somehow the ability to perceive each single passing thing as a separate entity gets lower as the speed raises, and at some moment we see a vague "average" that almost remains constant in time.

Thanks a lot for the nice comment, Eduardo!

Great picture.
I already was caugtch in such moment and ended making some pictures very simylar to this. It is strange how we get hipnotized by the speed.
Congrats,
Eduardo
