I hadn't realised it, but these cliffs at the southern end of Studland Bay are part of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site. The stack standing out in the sea is known as Old Harry.
This image was captured during a late October trip to Godrevy, in Cornwall.
The aim was to try and capture the dramatic shots of Godrevy and the crashing waves that the location is known for.
That idea had to wait until later due to the tide times. In the mean time I decided to get creative and do some long exposures like I did last year. The two people on the beach I know well, I call them Mum and Dad.
A busy period for Direct Rail Services at the beginning of November 2022 - with RHTT operations adding to their routine work - brought more of their 100-mph bi-mode locos onto the more sedate Cumbrian coastline working nuclear flask trains.
Due to its status as a passing place on the single line between Sellafield and Whitehaven, St Bees frequently sees up and down trains pass each other, as here on 2 November when no fewer than four class 88s would stand in the station while tokens were exchanged. Here 88010 “Aurora” stands ahead of 88001 “Revolution” and four FNAS making up 6M23, the 1317 Hunterston Sellafield. The lights of 88002 “Prometheus” herald the approach of 6C46, the 1902 Sellafield – Carlisle Kingmoor, consisting of four more FNAs and second locomotive 88009 “Diana”.
Nice to see that 88010 has its name back! though, why it didn't get its proper plates is something of a mystery.
It's not cool and it's not a livery
A summer Saturday view taken at Charfield, South Gloucestershire back in 1987, where BR large logo Class 47/4 47632 was passing with 1E32, the SO Table 51 09:58 Penzance to Leeds InterCity Holidaymaker Express.
Above the loco on the left is the former Brunel main station building and behind it, the former station master's house. Charfield station was opended by the Bristol and Gloucester Railway in 1844, being originally a broad gauge line that was later converted to standard gauge by the Midland Railway. Passenger services were withdrawn in January 1965, with goods services ceasing in September of that year.

"Life is so beautiful that death has fallen in love with it, a jealous, possessive love that grabs at what it can. But life leaps over oblivion lightly, losing only a thing or two of no importance, and gloom is but the passing shadow of a cloud..."
— Yann Martel (Life of Pi)

Once again, nearby Green River. Passing is allowed, not only on local roads, but also on the UP mainline.
This is a combination of two images. The background of ancient petraglyphs was taken in Capitol Reef. The Indian is a magnificent bronze sculpture photographed in Ruidoso New Mexico.
You know there never were any 'Native Americans', certainly there were indigenous tribes, the Sioux, the Pawnee, the Comanche etc, but they were never native Americans, they were living in the land that later became America. They were then disenfranchised, slaughtered and absorbed into myth and legend.
Part of my 'Opposable Thumb Series'.
66149 was next caught sitting in the down loop at Beattock, allowing a few passenger trains to pass. With 4S49 in the loop with the 1112 Daventry - Grangemouth Intermodal, an unidentified Class 390 passes north at speed. This Pendolino is working 9S80, 1443 London Euston - Edinburgh Waverley service on the 11th August 2018 and is seen passing Beattock at 1932.
