Das Wort «UGLY» hat ja so viele Bedeutungen, die alle im Negativen liegen, wie hässlich, mies, abstossend usw.

Dann kommst Du mit Deiner Aufnahme und belehrst uns eines Besseren: Schön, begehrenswert, liebevoll.

Tolle Geschichte.

Uomo e" oggetto" del suo lavoro sono un tutt'uno.
L'orgoglio nel presentarlo al meglio, accudendolo, suscita sicuramente sentimenti di fiducia e affetto .
Ci sono dunque ancora tante brave persone!!

A photo that fascinates.
Very beautiful expression of man it touches, with great delicacy, the locomotive as if it were a living being.
A beautiful composition with nice colors.
Very, very good.
Ciao, Emilio
