Hurry, let's go

 

Press L and then F11 for a large view -

an absolute must to fully enjoy this picture !

This is a very silly cart like if you combined Dolly Parton with dill pickles and then raced to raise money for charity. These humans were living their best lives regardless and I was there for it!

LOVE IS LIKE A BUTTERFLY – DOLLY PARTON

 

SEPTEMBER DANCES

 

Butterfly kisses tickling my cheek

with gentle soft wings fluttering and meek

whispered words brushing my ears

caressing my skin

warm and golden

sun-kissed and velvety peach texture

such fine downy feelings

dreamy, delightful and meaningful glances

that conjure up September dances

of love and longing

such sweet all-embracing

touching and tracing our finger tips

down profiles so gleaming

in the subtly revealing

after-glow that left us

belonging and longing for more

knowing that this may be all that we have

let us savour the moments,

so precious and glad

to have gifted this time to each other.

Country: England

Location: Parton / Cumbrian Coast

Train: Northern Class156 Local Train to Carlisle

 

An der Cumbrian Coast ist es toll, die kleine Nebenbahn verkehrt in vielen Abschnitten direkt am Meer. So auch hier nördlich von Parton. Der Zuverkehr ist fest in der Hand der "Nasentürer" der Northern Railway. Spanned ist etwas anderes, aber die Landschaft, das Meer ... alles perfekt.

 

Wir sind an diesem Tag in diese Ecke gefahren weil da die Chance auf Sonne noch am grössten war. Also am grössten, eigentlich aber nicht vorhanden. Wir sassen dann aber fast den ganzen Tag in der Sonne.

 

Man darf ja auch mal Glück haben :-).

Getting this to run down the Cumbria coast with a High Tide and sunny crisp evening can seem like Mission Impossible.

So here’s 37254 37175 making dreams come true with the every 4 wks 1Q82 1635 Carlisle to Blackpool North test train passing Lowca point and about to enter Providence Bay, Parton. 17th June 2021.

Superb light and visibility on the Cumbrian coast north of Drigg but the strong N/NE wind was a problem.We decided the low shot at Parton was the best option and fortunately the exhaust held up for us.Taken 24/9/2022

After a reversal at Maryport, 56113 eases through Parton with the 6Z87 08:38 Workington Docks to Drigg BNF. Stockpiled from local quarries, the aggregates conveyed in this short term flow were used not just for construction purposes but also for the capping of storage vaults at Drigg Low-Level Waste Repository, near to Drigg village. The site is the UK's central long-term storage facility for low-level radioactive waste. Although Colas operated, the trips utilised blue JNA-T wagons hired in from Cappagh / DC Rail.

Shot taken in the evening on Parton beach

I have shot this composition a couple of times in the past but have never quite managed to get the shot I was hoping for. Finally, with the light reflecting off the water along with the movement in the foreground, I got the shot.

56113 now leads 6Z87 Workington Port (Colas) - Drigg BNF loaded vault-capping stone through Parton, having reversed at Maryport. A failure to run to its booked timings (the potential for which I had already considered) meant that it was 50 minutes early here at Bank Yard Rd.

Just about got away with it shadow-wise but on time would've been better.

One of the patches of sand between the rocks on Parton beach. This is well into the blue hour last February. It was almost dark when I shot this as is often the case when before I leave.

The sun not round far enough really but I was here waiting for 6201 - needless to say the light didn't last !
