Croeso i Gymru
Rework of an image originally uploaded 8 years ago, which is now deleted.
After spending the night at Bristol Temple Meads snapping trains, I decided for a change of scene and took the local unit out to Severn Tunnel Junction.
After what had been a cold night, the early morning sun was welcome and, while basking in it trying to keep warm, it was hard to ignore the scene above and particularly the picturesque glint off the rails. Hence the shot.
Taken pretty well straight into the sun on a wing and a prayer regards exposure, thankfully I decided to bracket a few attempts, got lucky, and managed to get a keeper. The purist may not like the bit of flare around the signal but it appeals to me, so I left it in.
Croeso i Gymru indeed.
