Every now and then I remember to look at arte.tv and am reminded how awesome #Arte is. It's free, and brings vicarious #train #travel delights such as https://www.arte.tv/en/videos/113559-000-A/the-norwegian-fjords-by-train/ This journey is free on an #Interrail pass. #traintravel #siegeavecvue

#siegeavecvue

view out a train window, down a curve of the Rhine. the rail line passes right next to the shore, just separated by a single road

view across to a cute little town with old buildings across the Rhine

View down a straight section of the Rhine. the sun reflects off the river, making it glint here and there

view down another Rhine curve, into a town with an old castle. My travel companion, @moof@cupoftea.social, is reflected in the window

25th May 2025: Approaching #Périgueux from Limoges on the last leg of an impromptu #Interrail trip to #Eurovision. #SiegeAvecVue

A photograph of a field of barley (probably) as seen from a train window. Grey clouds loom on a horizon under which trees mark a boundary between fields. In the foreground we see tractor tracks through the crops. In the foreground the image is slightly smudged from movement.

Finally getting some hot sausage action in the @diningcar. #DeutscheBahn #VeganeCurrywurst #BeerOnTrains #Interrail #SiegeAvecVue #ICE626

A finger puppet readies to devour a bowl of Currywurst and a pint of Bitburger on an ICE.

I am experiencing a series of Windows 98-esque flashbacks. #SiegeAvecVue #TGV #Strasbourg

Farmland with green bits, yellow bits, a lot of blue and some fluffy white bits.

Can I get #freestuff for pointing out this egregious breach of the Bas-Lauriol law? Anyway. Wake me for lunch. #TGV #SNCF #SiegeAvecVue

View of farmland against a blue sky as seen from a train. On the horizon, a small copse.

@moof Take photos. I have so far failed to take the train from Limoges to Toulouse. Gratuitous blurry scenery shots please. #siegeavecvue

4th April 2025: Lowgill Viaduct, Cumbria, which once carried the Ingleton branch line. As seen from a passing Avanti West Coast service to Glasgow. #interrail #siegeavecvue

A panoramic view of the Lowgill Viaduct in Cumbria, UK, spanning across a lush green valley. There are eleven semi-circular sandstone arches. The viaduct rises about 100 feet above the valley floor. In the background, the undulating slopes of the Howgill Fells provide a scenic backdrop. The sky is blue with some clouds.

I keep nodding off because I had an obscene lunch (those truffles are repeating on me) but occasionally come round long enough to glimpse some serious pretty from the #Agen to #Perigueux #train. #siegeavecvue

A stone church and houses with Roman tiles perched along green trees and grass against a blue sky.

It is cold in #Glasgow. #Interrail experience marred by children for most of the day. Good yummy #freestuff on the #Eurostar and #Avanti services. Much prettiness from my #siegeavecvue but I had to fight to stay awake so probably missed most of it.

Puppet in front of Glasgow Central Station signage.

A seat back table on a train. Brie and red onion quiche served with artistic salad and a red cabbage coleslaw. A glass of sparkling water. A finger puppet.

The river Clyde under a series of bridges, as seen from the right side of a train approaching Glasgow Central.

Ooh. Shiny new #TGV yadda yadda. All that money and the tables and windows don't line up. No #siegeavecvue here.🤦

A photograph of a table-seat aboard the new TGV. The seats do not align with the window, so only one of the two passengers get a decent view.

23rd February 2025. Train tracks, catenary, and the peaks of the Atlas Mountains seen from the back #window of the #ONCF #Marrakech to #Casablanca #train. #SiegeAvecVue #MaqeadMaeManzar

A highly contrasted photograph taken from the back of a train. A rocky landscape dotted with hardy shrubs dominates the foreground with two parallel sets of train track snaking into the distance. On the horizon are some trees, and behind them we can white clouds at ground level through which the dark tops of the Atlas Mountains are poking. The sky is blue with some wispy clouds.

14th February 2025. #Morocco, as seen through a #train #window on an #ONCF service between #Tanger Ville and #Fès. #SiegeAvecVue #MaqeadMaeManzar

A photograph of a Moroccan landscape as seen through the left side window of a train. The view is partially obscured by two blue and purple seats. Through the window, slightly ochre farmland with bushy shrubs leads to a horizon of green trees and white flat-walled houses. There are two mountains in the distance. The sky is blue. There is a light above the window.

23 February 2025. As seen from an #ONCF #train #window travelling north, halfway between #Marrakech and #Settat. A farmer tends to his goats and sheep in an arid field just north of #Baghoughe, #Morocco. #SiegeAvecVue #MaqeadMaeManzar

The landscape is flat and sandy to the horizon, where a few dune-shaped sit behind a distant terracotta village. In the foreground, a handful of sheep and goats are spread out over a golden sandy field, and a man in a dark djellaba walks along a path to inspect them. In the middle of the image, a few trees along the A3 road offer shade to a handful of cars driving south. In an otherwise clear blue sky, a few rogue Cirrus fibratus float across the top of the image.

Here's the tl;dr post for people who can't be bothered reading the excited witterings of a child in a halwa shop: https://siegeavecvue.eu/2025/03/05/morocco-days-after-sums/

We'll always have Tangier.

Picture of a finger puppet standing at the pointy end of an ONCF Al Boraq train.

It's a dreary day outside the window of this train this morning, but the view as we crossed the river #Ebro was quite pretty. #Renfe #SiegeAvecVue

Mountains in the distance can be seen behind an arched bridge reflected in the river Ebro. On the left of the river, modern apartment buildings. On the right, older buildings.

#Gibraltar as seen along the Guadarranque river from a passing train. #Renfe #SiegeAvecVue

A brown river dominates the bottom half of a photo of Spain from a train. On the horizon, behind some trees, can be seen Gibraltar. The sky is blue and there are some clouds.

I've been unwell the last couple of days -- "you've been to Casablanca, of course you have a disease" -- so have had plenty of time to catch up.

Finger puppet on tenterhooks at the bottom of the steps to Casa Voyageurs train station.

After an expedition to the @diningcar, puppet is now settling down for the rest of the journey to #TangersVille as we cross the Oued Bou Regreg leaving #Rabat. #AlBoraq #ONCF #Morocco #DiningCar #SiegeAvecVue #MaqeadMaeManzar
