EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the awe-inspiring Tunnel on Netherlands-Delagoa Bay Railway in South Africa. Taken by an English photographer in the 19th century, this print is a testament to the beauty and grandeur of this remarkable engineering feat. The image captures a train rushing through the steep cutting of the tunnel, constructed with powerful feet emerging from Elands River. The locomotive, attached to its thick base, navigates through the towering granite walls while surrounded by tropical palms and numerous ferns. As it passes through this dangerous yet beautiful scene, one can't help but marvel at the sheer height of the precipices fringed with lush bushes. Occupying a semi-tropical environment, this part of South Africa is home to tigers and baboons that add an element of wildness to this already breathtaking landscape. The sparkling waters of Waterval Boven Station further enhance its natural beauty. To ensure safety during daylight hours when wheel cog trains gallop through these tunnels at speeds up to 600 miles per hour, precautions have been taken such as constructing homes for workers along the route. This photograph perfectly encapsulates both danger and wonder within its frame. With its impeccable composition and attention to detail, this print truly captures the ideal beauty found in nature's wonders along Netherlands-Delagoa Bay Railway. A true gem from Fine Art Finder's collection brought to you by Bridgeman Images.
