This pic was taken close to the famous Devil's Bridge during the transit of the regional train Lucca - Aulla the morning after the snowfall that covered the area of Lucca for a couple of days in December 2009. Fun fact, this shot is one of the most successful and important railway photos taken by Frank, since it has been used in the cover of many newspapers and books.

This is one of Frank’s favourite photos, not just because of the presence of the snow but also for the colours at sunset. It was taken from the bus stop in Granaiolo on the train line Florence – Siena.
