Well chosen pov Keith.
hFF

Glad you like the POV Jaap........many thanks!

The railway tracks make for good leading lines, a well composed photo!
We all were/are having the same problems - it's a wonder I manage to see and comment a few photos now;-) Mostly photos weren't visible at all- probably AI bots again....

Thanks for your visit and kind comments Gudrun.......glad you like this one.

I agree.......it's been an awful couple of days. Today seems to be OK (for the moment at least).

Da hast du ja einen interessanten Blick von der Brücke festgehalten lieber Keith,das Bild hat dadurch auch eine wunderbare Tiefe,schön hast du das aufgenommen :))

Ich habe gestern gar nicht angefangen mit Ipernity,wenn ich ein Foto angeklickt habe,habe ich nichts gesehen,jetzt läuft es wieder,scheint es lieber Keith :))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Nachmittag,liebe Grüße Güni :))

Glad you like this one Güni.........thank you so much for your kind c comments as always.

Since I posted this earlier today........IP seems to be almost back to normal. Let's hope it stays that way..!!

Have a lovely evening. Best wishes, Keith ;-)

Ja,bisher läuft alles wieder bestens lieber Keith,nur hätten sie hier in Ipernity eine Nachricht abgeben,dass einiges seit 2 Tagen nicht mehr passt,ich dachte zuerst,mein Laptop hat was :))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Abend,liebe Grüße Güni :))

.........until today (Sat), when we cannot upload photos. :-((

Hahaha,das stimmt lieber Keith :((((

Love the depth of this photo. Great shot.

Thanks very much Ed........glad you like it. Much appreciated..!!

You missing the old job Keithy?

Not in the bloody slightest mate. I do miss some of my old workmates, but definitely not the job..!!

Where are you working now.......or have you retired?

Same place, still got a year to go although I might carry on for a bit after as l enjoy the place.

Glad you're still enjoying being at work mate...........and if you like it enough to stay longer, then good for you!

beautiful this Keith

HANWE!

Thank you Annemarie........you're very kind.

H A N W E yourself.

Very special rails: is this route suitable for different track gauges?

Thank you Jean-Paul.........glad you like this one.

As far as I know all railways in the UK use standard gauge (4 ft 8,5 in / 1435 mm), apart from a very few exceptions i.e. privately owned railways/legacy lines.

What you may be seeing is the "third rail" which is the electrified one that powers the rails. You can also see on the right some new rails which have not yet been fitted, which are lying between the in use rails until they can be swapped out.

Buena perspectiva.

Thank you very much Marije.......always appreciated..!!

is dat ook de hoge snelheidstrein ?

No we don't have any high-speed trains in this part of England Fred!

You are on the right tracks with this shot but don't go up them as you will go around the bend :-))
The only rail link we have here on the island is from Shanklin to Ryde which is only a few miles, however we do have a steam railway at Havenstreet which is a tourist attraction

Ha, ha..............I spent 17 years working on the railway, so I'm already round the bend mate ;-)))

Is the Shanklin to Ryde line still using the old underground carriages?

I think they changed the carriages a few years ago but I haven't used that line for donkey's years.

Wo das Gleis wohl hinführt?
Denkt der Betrachter.
