#RoyalScot #Stream #Train #Cotswolds Here is The Royal Scot, at speed, on the North Cotswold line from Oxford to Worcester – a trip from London Paddington called The Cotswold Venturer – this train was supposed to have been pulled by The Flying Scotsman, but had to be substituted due to mechanical problems: Flying Scotsman update:…
This a beautiful Barn Owl called Delta – taken at the end of an amazing evening (Owls By Moonlight) at the Hawk Conservancy Trust, near Andover where we were treated to flying displays with many different owls, many flying just over our heads – apart from the range of owls (I didn’t realise there were so…
…the Dartmoor way! A side road across Dartmoor, Devon, UK on Tuesday morning as we were making our way to the coast at Salcombe – almost as many Highland cows here as we saw in Scotland a few years ago! Where are the bull bars for my car (Nissan X-Trail) when I need them! #Dartmoor,…
This is the first Severn Bridge connecting Aust, England to Chepstow, Wales – this bridge saved a 50 mile round trip up to the next bridge over the River Severn at Gloucester – It was opened in 1966 and carried the M4 until the Second Severn Crossing took over in 1996 – the road on…
Eclipse…well, just! In West Oxfordshire, UK, after a day of lifeless grey skies, we got just enough of a glimpse of the sun to see the 5% bite out of the sun before it set…and it was good to see, dodging behind some clouds (which was good, as it adds extra interest to the pictures…
This is Lulworth Cove, Dorset, UK from a day trip a few weeks back – the weather wasn’t the best, but the rain did hold off while we were there, but it certainly was not a ‘sit on the beach’ kind of day – what you cannot tell from the picture is how windy it…
So – it’s my birthday today – just finished work and heading home – hoping for a home-made birthday cake and a beer (though maybe not together!) 😉 Anyway, as a special treat, here are two photos from recent walks with my camera and Sparky (though he doesn’t feature in either of these this time)…
Real or Reflection? Sometimes difficult to tell where real life ends and the reflection begins – love this photograph of the overhanging branches and their reflections in the water. Taken yesterday in the Secret Garden, a free entry woodland and ponds in Shipton-under-Wychwood. Edited here using Macphun Luminar Neptune – currently on offer (MacOS only at the…
The Age of Steam…revisited…this is a photograph taken yesterday at the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Steam Railway (GWSR). The GWSR had a steam festival weekend, though we didn’t go to that. We saw a couple of trains from a bridge and again here, after walking the dog up Nottingham Hill, at Gotherington Halt – the line runs from…
Vanishing point…in so many ways! Artistically, we have converging lines from the track, bridge and railings meeting at the vanishing point at the base of the trees in the distance; Historically, this the track bed for a long dismantled railway – here it is fairly clear, but elsewhere it is vanishing – quite overgrown and being…
