The low sun cast shadows on 395 025 & 029 as they speed through Lenham Freight Loops on the 1142 St Pancras to Margate service.
The semaphore signals still stand on the disused and very overgrown Garw loop at Tondu Middle Junction, we are on the former Garw Valley line that once was very busy as it served 4 major collieries, know as the Garw loop now it was used as a run round facility for when freight trains were infrequently diverted via Tondu, away from the South Wales mainline.
The last time i was here was on the 10th March 2018 on the 1Z19 07.06 London Paddington-Onllwyn Washery via Tondu, 'The Valley of the Witch’ railtour, which came as far as it could along here until the vegetation stopped us!

Il Velo del Cigno è un resto di supernova che ha un'estensione angolare di circa 3 gradi e, secondo le osservazioni più precise, la distanza da noi è di circa 1470 anni luce. E' catalogato come Sh2-103 (W78 come sorgente radio) ma le sue parti hanno identificazione del più utilizzato catalogo NGC, la parte orientale è NGC 6992 e 6995, mentre la parte più occidentale è NGC6960.
Per riprenderlo quasi nella sua interezza, ho esguito un mosaico di 2x2, ogni pannello ha circa 5 ore e mezza di integrazione con pose guidate da 10 minuti con filtro dualband Antlia ALP-T 5nm per la nebulosa mentre per le stelle sono un'ora di pose da 60 secondi senza filtri. Telescopio newton 150/600 con correttore Tecnosky 0.95x, camera Tecnosky Vision 571C, montatura Eq6-R Pro, elaborazione in Pixinsight.
The Cygnus Loop is a supernova remnant with an angular extension of about 3 degrees and, according to the most precise observations, its distance from us is about 1,470 light-years. It is cataloged as Sh2-103 (W78 as a radio source), but its parts are identified in the most widely used NGC catalog: the eastern part is NGC 6992 and 6995, while the westernmost part is NGC 6960.
To capture it almost in its entirety, I created a 2x2 mosaic. Each panel took about 5.5 hours of integration, with 10-minute guided exposures using an Antlia ALP-T 5nm dual-band filter for the nebula, and one hour of 60-second exposures without filters for the stars. 150/600 Newtonian telescope with Tecnosky 0.95x corrector, Tecnosky Vision 571C camera, Eq6-R Pro mount, Pixinsight processing.
Loop da loop with a pair of light sticks while walking backwards in the pitch black of the underground storm drain called the Love Tunnel is a thrilling experience
The Maze loop was recommended by a Ranger and while it didn't disappoint, I do have beef with the fact the trails in Joshua Tree are, compared to other parks I have been to, poorly labeled. Combined with a somewhat featureless landscape and it's amazing more people don't just wander off never to be seen again.
Dogwood challenge. Week 17. Loop lighting. I have no off camera flash or a model. So this was the best model I had.
At June Lake Loop in Fall, you can see some great contrasts between greens and yellows. Having been all green just a few weeks previously, the Aspens turn a birght yellow before the leaves fall, which some of the evergreens retain the same color all year round.
Another one from the hols in Co. Clare – bright morning light, billowing shower clouds and a lighthouse – what more do you want?? I used the Canon EFS 17-55 lens at f11, 20 mm and ISO 200 for 1/500th of second from the top of the compound wall.

Yes this C-27J Spartan really is inverted at the top of its Loop in the sky. What a great display of the aircrafts capabilities and the skills of the dedicated crew! Well done you deserve the award you won.
The Georgetown Loop Railroad is a narrow gauge heritage railway located in Clear Creek County, Colorado in the United States. The Georgetown Loop Railroad was one of Colorado’s first visitor attractions. Completed in 1884, this spectacular stretch of narrow gauge railroad was considered an engineering marvel for its time. The thriving mining towns of Georgetown and Silver Plume lie two miles apart in steep, narrow Clear Creek west of Denver. To connect them, engineers designed a corkscrew route that traveled nearly twice that distance, slowly gaining more than 600 feet in elevation. It included horseshoe curves, grades of up to 4 percent, and four bridges across Clear Creek, including the massive Devil’s Gate High Bridge. The Colorado & Southern Railway operated the line for passengers and freight until 1938. Originally part of the larger line of Colorado Central Railroad constructed in the 1870s and 1880s, it was later dismantled, but was restored in the 1980s to operate during summer months as a tourist railroad, carrying passengers using historic narrow-gauge steam locomotives.
In 1959, the centennial year of the discovery of gold in Georgetown, the Georgetown Loop Historic Mining & Railroad Park was formed by the Colorado Historical Society. The Colorado Historical Society’s chairman negotiated a donation of mining claims and mills, and nearly 100 acres of land. Rail line construction began in 1973 with track and ties donated by the Union Pacific Railroad.
The four-mile segment opened on March 10, 1884 and is a restored segment at the upper end of the historic Colorado Central main line up Clear Creek Canyon west of Golden. It climbs approximately 640 feet between the two towns. The longer main line up the canyon was constructed in the wake of the Colorado Gold Rush and was used extensively during the silver boom that followed in the 1880s to haul the lucrative silver ore traffic down from the mines at Silver Plume. The Loop portion of the line was the crowning segment of the line at the top of the gorge and features a 95-foot high trestle. The entire line, including the Loop, was dismantled in 1939, but interest in restoration of the Loop segment as a tourist attraction in the 1970s led to the construction of a new high bridge and the refurbishment of the segment, which reopened in 1984.
The train ride includes an optional walking tour of the Lebanon Silver Mine, located at the halfway point on the railroad. Visitor walk 500 feet into a mine tunnel bored in the 1870s while guides point out the rich veins of silver and the history of the mine.
Passengers board the train at depots located in either Silver Plume or Georgetown. (Wikipedia)
