It is 5pm as the rush hour approaches and the rain is lashing down.
The busiest station in the UK is a great place to be!
This storm took a long time approaching with overcast clouds, alternating with sun. Changeable weather makes for interesting skies. The day was quite windy from the west leaving Georgian Bay smooth and still. We finally got our thunderstorm in the evening hours.... summer weather in March!!
37716 about to cross over the Swing Bridge at Reedham with the afternoon train from Lowestoft (Pole)
The dirty one on the left is Valerie and the one on the right is Hubbard. The keener folk are out in the wind and mist on the 5th deck , the smart ones are in the Celebrations' Lounge on the 11th deck. The outside temperature falls to 0 degrees C as you get closer.
Early morning sun paints the sky as a CSX southbound is lined at NS Tower in Lima. The train will cross over to the main at Eureka Street, the next interlocking south.
After 60085 had left Skipton bound for Leeds there was about four hours to kill before the next action I had spotted in the area. I missed the New Biggin in the timetable. Anyway I thought it would be a good time to explore the Embsay and Bolton Railway railway where No 7 and 37294 were found to be working services.
37294 seen approaching Prior Lane from Bolton Abbey. The siding to the left presumably serving a local quarry. Any clues would be welcomed.
Some lush roadside vegitation on the single track road approaching Harkstead with Ipswich Buses ADL Enviro 200 YX66 WCJ working the 1520 Manningtree to Ipswich diverted service.
66023 on the approach to Swindon passing South Marston with 6C03 0955 Northolt Sidings to Severnside Sita binliner waste train. At least at this location the seemingly very over engineered catenary is not too much of an issue!

Bournemouth, Pier Approach. An area which has changed a lot through the decades. The Observation Wheel has been a feature since 2016, whilst Aruba was designed by Archer Humphryes Architects in the former Showbar at the land end of the pier.

Class 47 no. D1501 crosses the bridge over the Irwell, just north of Irwell Vale Halt, with the 10.56 Rawtenstall to Heywood service on the 7th February 2020.
66097 on the approach to Dandry Mire Viaduct, Garsdale, with the 10.44 Newbiggin - Tees Dock empty gypsum on Wed 5th September 2018.
I was about to get done by a cloud for the main viaduct shot.

The road from Egilsstadir to Myvatn passes a area formed by ash-sprewing volcanoes. The precipitation is quite low in this area, but the efficient draining of the ash makes the area appear as a bone dry desert with almost no vegetation.
The mountains in the background are all volcanoes.
Taken near the Mactan International Airport on a very cloudy day!

2U64 Dartford to London Victoria. Class 377 Electrostar's in Southeastern livery seen here at Ebury Bridge on the approach to London Victoria with the stunning Battersea Power Station setting the backdrop.
Rio Grande 5372 leads a mixed bag of Rio Grande, SP and UP units through the Utah Desert. Approaching Thompson Springs with the Book Cliffs as a backdrop makes for some great photo opportunities.
47712 approaches Shotlock Tunnel with the 08.35 Skipton to Appleby (Taken using a pole as tree growth towards the tunnel makes a higher up shot almost impossible)
