I\u2019ve passed through Charleroi, Belgium at various occasions over the years. For me it is a place similar to Newark, New Jersey.<\/p>\n

Like Newark:\u00a0Charleroi\u00a0offers connections between transportation modes and is the location of an important secondary airport\u00a0and\u00a0\u00a0has a light rail-subway that blends an historic network with modern construction.
\nAlso, both city\u2019s environments are characterized by post-industrial backdrops.<\/p>\n

Low sun offers contrast and rich lighting that is well suited to making dramatic railway images.<\/p>\n
