Rainy Days and Sundays
I know that the correct title should be Rainy Days and Mondays, but for these purposes, it's definitely Sundays! Accrington has an impressive viaduct which straddles the town centre in an elongated 'S' shape. Unfortunately, large parts of it, on both sides, are becoming engulfed by trees, and it's becoming more difficult each year to find a suitable gap in what was once a clear expanse. This was a bit of a hurried shot as the rain started to fall fairly heavily. Class 158 DMU 158903 crosses the viaduct with the 1B42 19:18 Blackpool North to York service, 23/05/2021.
2021 represents a significant milestone in the history of the Phoenix Railway-Photographic Circle with the celebration of our 50th anniversary by publishing a book to showcase some of the members' work, past and present, from 1971 to the present day.
The book contains 14 chapters and 144 pages of photographs, depicting the work over 50 accomplished railway photographers, with many differing styles and approaches. It takes an alternative view on photographing the railway scene over the last 50 years.
The book, called '50 Years of Phoenix' was due to be published on 14th May 2021, but there has been a slight delay in receiving it from the printers. It should hopefully be available at some point during this week commencing 24th May 2021. You can order your copy by clicking on this link:
