12 of 12 - Small Worlds


An elderly couple had asked me if I could photograph their model railway. And since I refuse anything older couples can, I said yes and they have visited today morning.

Every year during Christmas time, they get the big model train from the basement and put them in the living room. By the end of February, they play with it, that is, they are building to improve it and make it different. While he is in charge of the railways and electricity, she is responsible for the design of the landscape and houses.

Now you can find model trains awfully cheesy and stuffy, but I made the morning fun. I've shot over 200 photos, more new Scenes and vistas I've found and I could not stop anymore.

Good thing I had thought of taking my stand, otherwise all pictures were blurred. I like the many small scenes that can be discovered in the model.

While I photographed the old man told his powerful minister vote (with whom he had in his playing days certainly well filled the church) from the emergence of the web. For many years he and his wife in it. Much time, money and love put therein, and he proudly showed to the many little things and ideas that has installed his wife.

such thing, of course, raises the child in the man and I have a soft spot anyway for such small houses and worlds. For a time I had over 12-year-old me, although I did not have a model train, bought the house to assemble. Such a world in miniature has something fascinating.

Perhaps it is the idyll that appeals to the manageability and security of small worlds, control over the events that have been - oh, I know how to do that can be interpreted psychoanalytically.

The necessary electronics are enormous and the former pastor had made plans and folders full of notes, which circuit is connected to which relay. There

Different routes to stabling and a tunnel, can be temporarily parked in the trains.

The pigs feel on top, but also horses and poultry sheds to wood working and a small campsite.

But the best in the morning the old couple had to experience yourself. As she told together, work has fallen into each other's word, have improved and have remembered each other in details. Some old couples still needed a lot of respect from me. There are those in which you realize that they belong together and are profoundly connected.

Maybe marriage is something like a model railway. There is always something to repair, to improve, new details to discover but also well-worn circle on which the train of life safe. Something you can make with each other and yet everyone has their own terms of reference that any right important. For what would be the model with no railway and the railway without the cottage and small figures? Together, together, and created his little world - perhaps narrow-minded, but if they experienced such, it is a good thing. (And you can see in the picture above the pastor, who hurries to the double wedding, because it is too late?)

And who else has participated in 12 of 12 as always with Caro.
