Welcome to Part IV of my Krakow Train Graveyard series. Here, I showcase photos of the trainyard and of the views of the city taken from the sky.
In case you've missed them, you can read on the previous posts in this series here:

The drone offers a perspective never usually seen by a naked eye at ground level, and that's what I love about it most; it helps turn an already interesting experience into an altogether new and fascinating one.
For example, you may never have seen a train turntable before, used to turn trains around or gui
The train site merges with a working train line, with much more modern trains regularly floating past.
It's a stark reminder of how the world is constantly changing, and how what seems modern now may very quickly be superceded.
As I floated the drone further up into the sky and changed the direction it was facing, I managed to catch a live train speeding on its path to another town.
The contrast between the old city, the new city, and the abandoned trains I'd just been looking at, did not pass me by.
Finally, a photo I didn't remember taking until I looked through the archive a few weeks later.
What I enjoy about this photo is the combination of contrast between light on one side of the carriage and darkness on the other.
With this, we come to a close.
Thanks for reading... If you have any thoughts, feedback, suggestions, I'd love to hear them.
Equally, if you have experiences of your own with drones, let me know in the comments below.
