| Både i 2001 og 2002 er min sommerferie i august måned gået til Java, som er den folkerigeste ø i ø-riget Indonesien. På Java kører der endnu små smalsporede damplokomotiver, bygget for 80 år siden i Tyskland, England og Holland. De kører med sukkerrør fra marken til sukkerfabrikken eller anvendes til rangering med sukkerrørstipvogne på fabrikken. Det minder meget om de danske sukkerroebaner, som jeg desværre er for ung til at have oplevet. Jeg håber at disse billeder kan give et indtryk af det smukke land og den venlige befolkning, som synes det er vældigt morsomt at blive fotograferet af mennesker, der er dobbelt så store som dem selv. Gullivers rejser, anyone :-) |
In 2001 and 2002 I held my august summer vacation in on the island of Java, which is the most populous island in Indonesia. On Java they still use small narrow gauge steam locomotives built 80 years ago in Germany, England and the Netherlands. They're used to haul sugar cane from the fields to the factories or used for shunting sugar cane wagons on the factory. It's very like the Danish sugar beet railways of old, which I'm too young to have experienced. I hope that these pictures will give a small impression of the beautiful country and friendly people, who loves being photographed by people, twice their own size. Gulliver's Travels anyone :-) |
