Super Sprinter crosses the Ribble Viaduct.

Super Sprinter crosses the Ribble Viaduct.
A British Rail Class 153 Super Sprinter in 'Northern' livery crosses this famous Yorkshire Dales viaduct heading towards Carlisle .

The viaduct which is part of the famous Settle to Carlisle rail route is framed nicely by one of the'Three Peaks' mountains called Whernside at 736m (2415ft) a small hill compared with the mighty Alps but for us here it represents a big mountain indeed. It is joined by the Ingleborough and Pen-y-ghent mountains as part of the three Peaks which is one of Britains greatest outdoor peak chalenges - to do all three in the same day. The peak of Ingelborough sits almost exactly opposite the wide valley here.

Enjoy full screen.

Good to see you in these more personal pages Jaap. Certainly the light on these contrasting foreground and background scenes lifts this all up. The train was a bonus. I had given up the hope of a train crossing and had walked away from my main photo position then I heard this and snapped this off very quickly.
You too try to keep safe in our neighbouring Holland Jaap.

Got to admit, that expression of yours fits the bill for me too Nick. There seemed to be the perfect combination of snow and Spring light on this day. I have been told that this is a British Rail Class 153. You will know that of course!

Cheers and keep healthy my friend. Herb
