Here is my entry for this week’s Daily Photo Challenge: On The Way.

The photo, one from my archives, brings back memories of our drive from Livigno, in Italy to St. Moritz,(Davos) Switzerland, a stunning road trip through the scenic Alps. A day to remember, crossing the borders of countries, was so easy.
As the little Red train came into sight, we stopped turned into the parking lot and stopped to catch a glimpse of this iconic, historic train. Once a steam-powered locomotive, with engineering feats to tackle severe winter and steep terrain, the Glacier Express is now a modern-day luxury….literally! The train passes through dozens of small villages and resorts and scenic landscapes.
But between stations…its’ neither here (Zermatt) nor there ( St. Moritz)! It’s on the way..…
On a deeper note:
A train journey is often used as a metaphor for our life journey. We are all ‘On the Way’ from one station(birthplace) to another station(End). And, on the way, just like the train, we too pass through pleasant, memorable stations as well as chug through the steep and difficult ones. It is ‘what’ and ‘how’ you do on the way…that will ultimately determine your End station. So, don’t lose control of your life train, be in charge!
Beautiful writing! Beautiful picture!
Thank you dear, hope your life train is passing through scenic landscapes!
That is a fantastic analogy! Don’t lose control of your life train. Perfect.
Lovely capture, lovely story and especially liked your analogy. well done Veena
