The obligatory Glenfinnan viaduct shot....

The obligatory Glenfinnan viaduct shot....
Not the best shot - on a crowded train, there was a lot of jostling and competition for leaning out of the windows. And there was absolutely no way Rabbit wanted to stick his head out of the window to get in the picture!

The Glenfinnan viaduct is one of the main attractions of the Fort William to Mallaig route. We were on The Jacobite steam train service (although actually, on the day we travelled, they weren't allowed to run a steam locomotive because of fears that sparks could set off fires in the surrounding countryside, given our unusually hot dry summer). The viaduct has featured in the Harry Potter films, although it was a big attraction before that because of its position at the head of Loch Shiel, overlooking the historic Jacobite monument at the head of the loch.

Fair enough, Rabbit needs to keep safe to have more adventures ...

Lovely shot of that viaduct.

I think this is really great. I like the fact that you have shown the lead-in curve.

This is a lovely shot............I love the curve of the train and viaduct and the blur on the viaduct and ground in the foreground gives a great sense of movement.

Beautiful curve and blurring on the parapet. Rabbit was probably taking a bite or two of your strawberries and millionaire's shortbread while you were hanging out the window.

You did well considering the difficulties! I remember trying to get a decent shot there and never succeeding.

I would have had a great shot on the return journey, the angle of the sun was perfect, the stone was glowing golden brown, etc etc - but everyone else on the train had the same idea and I couldn't get anywhere near a window :-(

... sweep of train and viaduct carry the eye; greenery and stony hills are a nice addition ...

... this shot might be "obligatory", but 1/60 at f/8 certainly gave you a nice shot ...
