Somewhat different to a 747 flight-deck.

I'm particularly fond of the teapot.

Istanbul - Tehran, August 2008.

In the Getting There (Anywhere) photo essay.

    Great story -- good reportage feel with the photos, and effective use of wide-angle! Really liked this.
    How did you manage to get access to the driver?

    Thanks. I'd just bought a 10-20mm Sigma the day I left, so it gave me plenty of opportunity to learn how to use it. (Although a little *too* much at times I fear.)
    As for the train driver, once you get a little bit east (it's the same in Eastern Europe) rules & protocol get a lot more relaxed. I just gave him a smile, asked politely if I could come have a look, and he welcomed me in.
