Default France @ 180 mph

I took these shots of the French countryside through the tinted window of a TGV train traveling at 180+ mph. They are flawed, but the effects of the high speed, early morning light and the tinted window made for some interesting effects. I took over 300 shots, kept only 50, but I had fun.

That would definitely be an interesting trip. I would have loved to have been on, or even just seen the TGV when they got it up to nearly 360MPH. Nice shots too

YouTube - tgv speed record at 574.8kmh - 357.16mph

Don't you just hate power lines? That first shot is superb, but would be better without the lines. My next fave is number 3.

Nice photos especially considering you were travelling @180 mph and shooting through glass.
