57605 Dawlish
In recognition of my channel reaching the milestone of 1,000,000 views, I’ve decided to dig an image out from the modern archive. Not taking into account my profile picture of a youthful 14 year old in the hot seat of 59206 from what seems a long time ago, which has been my avatar since day one, this was the first shot I added to Flickr and it's certainly not a shabby one!
57605 "Totnes Castle" approaches Kennaway Tunnel on its departure from Dawlish with the 2C51 17.50 Exeter St Davids-Penzance First Great Western “Veg-Ex" on the longest day of 2014, Saturday 21 June. The original upload only ever achieved 410 views and 3 faves. Apparently, it was also my favourite image at the time (little to say that is no longer the case); a far cry from the quality of my pictures today. As an editor's note, I used to have a policy of deleting original JPEG's once I had finished editing (sounds a bit like the BBC), but remarkably this one was kept intact, so I was able to have another go at polishing it up (Re-uploaded image).
