Carramar railway station

This is a view of the railway station in the western suburb of Carramar. In my quest to photograph every suburb in Sydney, sometimes it's not an easy task to find a beautiful or interesting subject in some suburbs. Carramar is definitely one suburb which has been neglected and some could say that parts of it look quite derelict. However, I did manage to find a way to photograph the railway station platform nestled among the flowering bushes that does actually make this place look rather attractive. The name Carramar is derived from an Aboriginal word meaning 'shade of trees'.

  2. Beautiful station, and you can be lucky with blue sky and nice flowers. Here in Germany we have snow, all over there...
    Servus and have a nice day

  7. yes you definitely made the station look more interesting than it really is.... it's not a popular train station as there isn't much passenger coming from that area but at least they still keep it open.

  8. Love the perspective of this. You’ve taken a rather ordinary railway station and given it life.

  10. You must have fun riding all those trains. Collecting is a good thing ... I find it makes me go places and do things you would otherwise not.

  19. A bit of envy for your weather, your stations look more better than ours. The meaning of the names is always interesting.
