Addis Abeba is a remarkably safe city. It's usually no problem to walk around at night. The picture shows a section of Haile Gebrselassie Street, east of Addis Ababa's city centre.

Taken in the Southeast of Addis Abeba, on the disused railway track to Dire Dawa and Djibouti. Trains between Dire Dawa and Djibouti are still running. However, there's no traffic between Addis Ababa and Dire Dawa, and at least within the city of Addis Ababa, it wouldn't be possible to use the rails.

During the Derg regime (until 1991), Ethiopia's main allied was the Soviet Union. Many things were imported from there, including the omnipresent blue Lada taxis.

After the downfall of Emperor Haile Selassie, Ethiopia used to be a socialist dictatorship until 1991. During this period, the country received a lot of aid from the Soviet Union and Cuba, e.g. in the Ogaden war with Somalia. This statue in the city centre of Addis Ababa is a witness of Ethiopia's socialist past. The monument looks exactly like similar monuments in the former Soviet Union, with all its symbols (hammer & sickle, red star). In the same compound there's a gallery of fallen Cuban soldiers.

My last picture of Zurich, shot out of the moving truck when I was moving from Zürich to Bern, after having lived in Zürich since 2003.
I took this picture from Hardbrücke (whose train station is visible on the left side of the picture), it shows the rails towards the main train station and parts of Zürich 6 with the ETH and University buildings and the Fluntern church.

The small railroad station of Räfis-Burgerau (a suburb of Buchs SG) on the railway line Buchs - Sargans. For many years, it has been served by very few trains, but now there's again a hourly "Thurbo" train between Buchs and Sargans.

Evening shot of Komárom train station, located at the railway line between Budapest and Vienna. Right behind the station is Dunaj (Danube) river, which marks the Hungarian-Slovak border.

View from Slowakia across Dunaj (Danube) river to Hungary. The bridge (called Erzsébet híd / Elisabeth bridge) connects the Slovak border town of Komárom (Komarn in German, Révkomárom in Hungarian) with its Hungarian twin city of Komárno. The old town of the divided city is in the Slovak part of the city, however even there most of the inhabitants speak Hungarian and all signs are bilingual. Komárno and Komárom each have a train station. The Hungarian station is on the main Budapest-Vienna railway line, the Slovak one is just on a minor line between Nové Zámky/Érsekújvár and Dunaszerdahely/Dunajská Streda.
