My photo of the river from the train window got photobombed by another passing train, and I quite like the result!

The foreground is smeared by motion blur, giving just an impression of the interior of a train carriage, with lights and a few figures. The window of the other train gives a clear view over the river in the background, showing a bridge and some buildings.

@InvaderXan that's such a cool effect and I love it even more because it's an accident! reminded me of this (not as spectacular) photo I took in Switzerland last year.

a very blue lake with lush alpine vegetation and a number of small villages, seen through a window from the dark interior of a train carriage

There's something rather interesting about this effect of having a picture within a picture, don't you think?

@InvaderXan absolutely! one of my philosophy professors once held a lecture about the iconography of the Frame which was super interesting.

Hmmm... So an artist can play with that perception by creating frames within frames. Thinking about it, I've seen a few photographers do this kind of thing quite effectively...
