I lived in Cambridge then and stalked this shot for months. There were always cars and lorrys parked in the way. Finally, one morning the street was clear and as an added bonus, the cherry was in full bloom. My quintessentially English scene. Note that one of the phone boxes was even in use in those days! This is St. Mary the Great Church (known as Great St. Mary's or GSM) taken from near the market square.
Shot on Fuji Velvia 100 film with my whizzy Canon camera that had eye-controlled autofocus (the EOS Elan IIe).
The ZVL emerges out of the tunnel at Cambridge, Ohio on a rare Saturday run east of Zanesville. The train will cross Wills Creek in the foreground, a tributary of the Muskingum River.
The tunnel most likely dates back to 1854 when the Central Ohio Railroad hastily completed a railroad between Columbus and the Ohio River at Bellaire. Due to numerous rockfalls, a large portion of the tunnel had to be daylighted. The Central Ohio would ultimately become part of the B&O in 1866 and remained an important Cincinnati-Pittsburgh connection until the Chessie abandoned the railroad east of Cambridge in 1983.
See the same scene about 6 weeks later: www.flickr.com/photos/195136680@N07/52425757123/in/datepo...
The tower on the right is part of the Pembroke College Auditorium and the lower one to the left is situated on the Pitt building. But the rest of the buildings are part of Peterhouse. It really is just a stone'e throw between the sights of this town.
The shot is taken from Coe Fen, next to the river Cam.

I met a friendly man up a small road near Cambridge who recommended that I drive up Bryce Road in Cambridge Vermont. Again, the spring greens were strong under the very bright sun.
