Hi Steve,

Thank you again! While probably the most commonly taken photo on the railway, I could not resist the chance to capture the blue sky and still water on this holiday Monday.

Best Wishes

My Dear Füsun,

Thank you so much again! As I said to Steve, a very popular picture location. This day had been remarkably clear, and blue! After this arrived I went into the cafe for a cup of tea, then for a walk round the station and yard...
Love Peter

Thank you so much Andy.

As stated above, probably the most often reproduced shot on this railway. The only difference between them all being the lighting and the locomotive. I am happy you have enjoyed the combination I found last Monday!

Best Wishes
Peter
