Headstone tunnel

Headstone tunnel
I am in the inside of the tunnel here at the Monsal head Viaduct end. At 487 metres long (1579ft) it can seem quite long and until recently, a very dark if not scary experience to walk through. Until Beecham’s butchering of our railway systems in the 1950’s this used to run Midland railway trains from Buxton to Bakewell. Now it is used by walkers and cyclist on this much loved Monsal Trail. It is lit up during the day but the lights are turned off after dark.
See PiPs

Best full screen. Enjoy the day.

Great framing here Herb.............and perfectly exposed for both the inside and outside of the tunnel. The walkers stand out nicely, and what we can see of the surrounding landscape looks very inviting.

I love the first PiP..........it's beautifully composed with super leading lines. The lighting is spot on and I love the patterns on the tunnel walls. The detail is excellent too. My favourite of this set.

The second PiP gives a great insight into how dark the tunnel can get!

Great work sir! **********

Glad you liked these Keith. I did wonder about making the first PiP the main one but the quality at full screen was wanting as far as I was concerned. A fine tunnel that we have been all the way through but some years back now.
