Synchronicity I
noun: synchronicity
the simultaneous occurrence of events which appear significantly related but have no discernible causal connection.
Class 221 Super-Voyager No. 221138 is about to cross Westmead Rhyne in North Somerset with 1V59, the 17:12 Bristol Temple Meads to Paignton service on Tuesday 2nd March 2021.
There is no trickery here at all; this is exactly what happened. Having arrived at this spot just too late to photograph 1E63, unusually a Voyager that day, I waited a bit longer so as not to go home empty-handed. With the camera raised to my eye and poised for the shot I became conscious of a runner approaching rapidly away to my right. The appearance of the train coincided with the passing of the runner. I pressed the button and fired off three frames, and this is how the first one turned out.
Synchronicity I is a track from the 1983 album Synchronicity by The Police, and is a great favourite of mine. In the live performance I've linked to, check out the phenomenal work rate of drummer Stewart Copeland. Fantastic stuff.
