I have posted a very similar image to this one previously on Flickr but not the details of the events surrounding it.
I decided to go out to catch 1Z53 somewhere near Sherborne, once in the area I found a small lane running parallel with the railway from Wick Road, Milborne Wick to Oborne. I parked the car near a small white brick-built structure which I presumed to be some sort of utilities building, I noticed at this point that the railway was above the road so optimistically I went into a small field behind the white building, closing the gate behind me as I noticed 5 or 6 sheep in there, I made my way a short distance uphill to the barbed wire fence marking the top edge of the field and was pleasantly surprised to find the vantage point/view that can be seen in the image. I set my camera up and began to wait the 30 minutes-or-so until D1015's scheduled arrival. Although the lane was very rural I did occasionally see passing vehicles, at some point I noticed on RTT that the excursion was lingering at Sherborne, then I noticed out of the corner of my eye a police vehicle go slowly down the lane followed by a Network Rail vehicle. A few minutes went by and then - I shall never forget this - a guy in orange overalls appeared by the white box and tree in the image followed closely by a policeman, they were making their way towards me along the ballast beside the track and in true Ealing Comedy black-and-white-film-style Orange Overall Guy (not the policeman) shouted out to me - "OI YOU, DON'T MOVE, I WANT A WORD WITH YOU!". Obviously I wasn't going anywhere because I wanted the picture and because I was brought up to be polite and comply with 'authority figures' instructions but I had the feeling I was in trouble. Sure enough, once they had climbed up to my position (leaning on the fence INSIDE the field) and got their breath back it transpired that some passing busy-body had reported "someone on the railway" to the BTP - according to Orange Overall Guy the excursion was actually being held due to my presence, he was quite angry and rude, the BTP guy was more polite and had much less to say and it seemed clear to him that there was no problem here, I showed them the short walk across the field back to our vehicles on the road down below. Anyway once this was communicated "back-to-base" the working duly proceeded and the three of us had a 10 minute wait (felt like much more), making awkward small talk, to record the image attached. Strangely, after D1015 had passed we left the scene together with Orange Overall Guy insisting on us leaving the way that they had come, along the track, rather than my route down the field (so ironically I had to go over the fence and go "onto the railway" to get back to my vehicle!?!).
One more thing, although the BTP guy was very reasonable he did insist on taking my details (procedure or something) which worried me slightly (I was checking the post for weeks) and to this day I do not know whether I have a criminal record or not or if maybe I am on a terrorist watchlist! - the guy at security at Stanstead did give me a funny look last time I flew from there.
I presume that this view may still be "on" but probably not worth taking a chance - besides hardly anything interesting runs on the Mule anymore!

Anyone unaware of the wonderful series of British films which came to be known as the "Ealing Comedies" made by Ealing (film) Studios should check out "Whiskey Galore!, The Lavender Hill Mob, The Ladykillers and, of course the wonderful The Titfield Thunderbolt - Ealing's first comedy shot in Technicolor).
This locomotive and her classmates were of course no strangers to Ealing in West London during the 60s and 70s as they earned their corn ploughing the Great Western Main Line in and out of London Paddington.

At the time of its construction, this was the largest man-made structure in Greenland. Now, it just seems like an average arctic-sized church, close to the coastline. Being a small town of less than 5,000, it's pretty easy to find the church as the whole town is technically walkable.
I say technically because, well, being if you're not used to cold weather you might not appreciate walking around in freezing temperatures for 20-30 minutes at a time. It's surprisingly doable though if you prepare proper clothing, and, the cold doesn't feel as cold when you're in the arctic compared to non-polar latitudes.

The Arco della Pace (Arch of Peace), one of the most interesting example of neoclassical architecture, characterizes the surrounding area. Luigi Cagnola began its construction in 1807 when the city was under Napoleonic rule. It is located at the centre of the large square, Piazza Sempione. It was interrupted after Napoleon’s defeat at Waterloo, and then completed by Francis I of Austria who dedicated it to Peace. In his book “A Moveable Feast”, Ernest Hemingway reports the erroneous conviction that the Arco della Pace is aligned with the Arc de Triomphe at the Carousel and the Arc du Triomphe at the Étoile, both in Paris. Originally the enormous group consisting of the chariot and six horses faced France, but after the fall of Napoleon and the advent of the Austrian domination in Milan, the chariot was turned around to face the city centre.
Строительство этой арки (а задумывалась она как Триумфальная арка) было начато по указанию Наполеона в 1807 году в честь побед его войск на Аппенинском полуострове. Арка должна была стать одновременно и неформальными 14-ми воротами Милана. Через них император Франции предполагал торжественно въехать в город после завершения строительства арки. Существует мнение, что проем арки ориентирован по оси Париж — Милан и выходит на историческую ось Парижа. Однако, в своей книге «Подвижный праздник» Эрнест Хемингуэй сообщает об ошибочной убежденности в том, что Арка Мира совпадает по оси с Триумфальной аркой и Аркой на площади Каррузель, обе в Париже. Первоначально огромная группа, состоящая из колесницы и шести лошадей, смотрела на Францию, но после падения Наполеона и прихода австрийского господства в Милане, колесницу повернули лицом к центру города.

The Franciscan friary of Irrelagh, known as “Muckross Abbey” was founded for the Observatine Franciscans about 1448, by Daniel McCarthy Mor. The friars remained in occupation at Muckross at least intermittently and despite the dissolution of the monasteries until Cromwellian times. The present well-preserved ruins include a church with a wide, square tower and fine windows, and a vaulted cloister with an arcade of arches around a square courtyard.
Thanks for viewing.

Nicodemus, Kansas
Linhof Technikardan 4x5 camera, 210mm Nikkor lens, Tri-X Pan film
Nicodemus is a small town in Kansas settled after the Civil War by ex-slaves, known as exodusters. The town struggled to survive through the late 19th and 20th centuries as an island of black settlement in the American Midwest and is still home to several African-American families.
I photographed this and a number of other exoduster-built structures for the National Park Service in preparation for designation of the Nicodemus National Historic Site.
The building was built in 1950; sanatorium "Energetik" was one of the first, built and organized on the South Coast of Crimea (South Coast of Crimea) in the post-war years.
Здание было построено в 1950 году; санаторий «Энергетик» был одним из первых, возведённых и организованных на ЮБК (южном берегу Крыма) в послевоенные годы.
The United States Capitol Building is located in Washington, D.C., at the eastern end of the National Mall on a plateau 88 feet above the level of the Potomac River, commanding a westward view across the U.S. Capitol Reflecting Pool to the Washington Monument 1.4 miles away and the Lincoln Memorial 2.2 miles away.
The Buonconsiglio Castle, splendid residence of the Prince Bishops and symbol of the city of Trento, is made up of different parts built in different ages: an older one, called Castelvecchio, includes Torre Aquila, with the frescoes of the Cycle of the Months, a masterpiece of Gothic art that takes us to the heart of courtly and peasant life at the end of the 14th century. Then there is a Renaissance part, the Magno Palazzo, commissioned by the Prince Bishop Bernardo Cles and richly frescoed, while another wing of the palace, the Giunta Albertiana, is from the Baroque age. During the First World War the trial against the irredentists Cesare Battisti, Fabio Filzi and Damiano Chiesa was held here.
Мощная цитадель с толстыми стенами, окнами-бойницами, оборонительными башнями, подъемным мостом – типичное строение XIII века в романском стиле. Внутри находились подземелья и камеры пыток. Через 200 лет была надстроена высокая Орлина башня (Torre dell’Aquila) – веяние готики; внутренние росписи башни – сцены времен года – ценнейший памятник готического искусства. В XVI в. к крепости был пристроен Парадный дворец (Magno Palazzo): фронтоны, галереи с колоннадами, росписи на темы античных сюжетов – это уже Ренессанс. Новая пристройка к замку – La Giunta Albertiana с элементами барокко была сделана в XVII.
