Rovos Rail's luxury train travel was the dream child of a man who took having toy trains to another level which in turn created a tourist industry that is unrivalled in the world. Defunct and decommissioned coaches as well as decade old locomotives have been found, renovated and refurbished to create trains that have brought the elegance and style of yesteryear into modern era travel. This picture amazingly captures the think layer of clouds in the valley at the south of Lake Como, northern Italy. In the above image, the dense cloud hides almost the valley and instead gives off some artificial lights which make town such as an opaque blanket. The village over distance is clearly seen out from the blanket.
