Great Central Railway Loughborough 28th January 2001
Clouds?? Of steam, definitely...
Bulleid Pacific West Country 34027 Taw Valley crosses over from shed road 2 to road 1 prior to backing down to take water. Its stock waits in Platform 1 behind in Loughborough Central station.
With frost on the ground the cold morning air is filled with the engine's exhaust giving the scene a steamy atmosphere.
HFF to everyone. Have a great weekend.

Bagan Mandalay Burma 26th January 2020
Taken from our balloon high above Bagan. The sun is rising over the 12th century Dhammayazika temple casting long shadows.
Seen from above like this it gives a very good idea of the amazing number of pagodas scattered around the Bagan plain.

HWW Porto Portugal 5th October 2010
Every picture tells a story.
A moment in time: a man about to enter his house turns to see a bride running down the steps.
Who are they? Are they married? Have they argued already ? It will remain a mystery
HWW to everyone. Enjoy the mystery and the day.

HBM Aylestone Leicester 8th February 2026
Another shot of the result of recent long-lasting rainfall. This is bridge 105 the Pack Horse Bridge over the Leicester branch of the Grand Union canal. Behind the camera the River Soar joins the canal to become a canalised river and with all the rain it has overfilled and backed up through here to threaten the bench.
HBM to everyone. Enjoy the start of the new week.
