Nope, not a fish eye… in fact, if you look in the reflection, between the y and the s in "system" you’ll see me. I stood dead center, close enough to the train to touch it, and took 14 pictures… brought ‘em home and stitched ‘em up in CS3. This is what happens when you hand hold your camera and set up a pano at close range.
Guess I don’t need that fisheye lens after all.

Juste avant d’arriver à la Gare des Treize-Arbres vers 1905

Ce chemin de fer à été construit entre 1890 et 1892, date de son ouverture, il était à voie métrique avec crémallière Abt et sans ligne aérienne, il avait un rail pour la prise de courant en 600Wolts.
Sa gare de départ était Genève-Veyrier puis Monnetier et Treize Arbres, il y avait un autre embranchement qui allait d’Etrembières au Treize Arbres.
En 1932 a été construit un téléphérique qui a malheureusement précipité la mort du chemin de fer.

Il y a d’autres photos du train du Salève dans mes albums en page 5

Or both :) This is how a train station should look like :) When you are waiting, you take a walk in the garden. This is the Interior plaza in the old Atocha station in Madrid. Really a stunning place. I took this shot only handheld, but I placed the camera on the railing and held it down. It worked quite well :)

HDR from three shots, taken with Canon 5D mark II with Canon 16-35mm F2.8 lens, handheld.
