The german market is back today!
I tried this shot last year in my 365 but I didn't have my tripod back then, and I didn't want to go back a second day to repeat the attempt.
I went properly armed today after scoping out a spot at lunchtime. (here is last years attempt www.flickr.com/photos/alexturton/6359152987/)

This is an elementary school that has been closed. Background left is a high school also closed. The town had fewer than 400 residents in the 2010 census. Clearly not enough to support these schools.
Somewhere in the plains. This is an oldy I just resurrected. There is something inherently melancholy and nostalgic in an old school that is no longer in use. Doubly so when any playground pieces are still there.

The autumn trees were very colorful at the old town area of Geneva, Switzerland. There are many great restaurants and shops here.

Emily used to be a real horse, but fell under the spell of the bright lights of a travelling carnival. She was mesmerised by the spinning carousel, watching and watching, being drawn in until...
Having uploaded a shot of 76031 (previously 76044) and 76032 heading towards Wath a couple of images ago, this is a shot of the same pair later in the day, seen here departing Wombwell Main Exchange Sidings with a loaded MGR train to Fiddlers Ferry PS.
I'm stood at the very foot of the Worsborough Incline, a gruelling seven mile rise, three miles of which are at a nominal gradient of 1 in 40. In fact legend has it that some sections were much steeper as a result of coal mining subsidence in the area. I took this from a public foot-crossing about one hundred yards from the Exchange Sidings.
Above the locomotives can be seen Swaithe Viaduct carrying the Sheffield to Leeds line. Wombwell station, my point of arrival earlier in the day, lies a mile or so down the line to the left.
In the distance you can just about make out the home and distant signals. With both currently 'on', these control progress over Lewden Crossing and, to a lesser extent, the crossing beyond.
Given the full train-load of coal, the two locomotives on the front will be supported by a pair of bankers, also class 76s. These will drop off at the top of the incline and return back down here to await their next turn of duty.
Having 'discovered' this area the previous week, I was lucky enough to be able to get time off work and make a swift return with the trusty OS Map for a bit more exploring. This trip saw me start the day at Mitchells Main, walk on towards Wombwell Main Exchange Sidings and this foot-crossing, before following another footpath and ending up at Lewden Crossing. These weren't particularly long days seeing as the train back from Wombwell station left sometime around 4pm - you could never leave it too late because trains from Sheffield back south to Nottingham were quite thin on the ground after 6pm as I recall. Despite the shortish day it still proved a decent enough circular walk carrying a couple of cameras plus lenses - happy days when the stamina was a bit better!
As mentioned before, this freight line has long since disappeared and the route is now part of the Trans Pennine Trail.
An image uploaded for curiosity value, and in portrait format too so it might look better on a tablet or smartphone! Commenting off, thanks.
